Aurora Rise

fredzilla

This has been my LCS since I was in middle school and they're located only a few miles from the Century 16 in Aurora, CO. If you're in the Denver area and can come to this, I know everyone there would be very appreciative. One of the employees was in theater 9 and his friend was one of the 12 who were murdered. At one point they were talking about opening this up to online bidding, I'll try to update here if/when I hear any new details.

We're gathering a bunch of sketches and prints here at a store in Arizona to send up your way. I'll be contributing, so that should at least ensure a buck. :)

Seriously, I hope this does well...

Last I heard they raised over $17,000 for the victims and families affected by the theater shooting. A big thanks to Matt Fraction, Mike Mignola, Steve Niles, and all the other creators/writers/artists involved.

Here's my animated Hellboy figure with his own Mignola back tattoo.
