Aftershock
Check out this comic anthology, AFTERSHOCK, being put together by Adam. I’ll let his own words do the talkin’:
Aftershock is a global response to the disasters of March 2011 in northeast Japan. Over 30 contributors from around the world have donated their artwork and stories to this compilation. The project has two purposes, the first of which is to act as an open letter of support and concern to the people of Japan. The second purpose is to offer physical relief in the means of monetary support. 100 % of the proceeds from the book will be donated to relief efforts in the disaster struck areas.
Go check out their Kickstarter HERE to pledge some support to help get it made and get yourself a copy!
