The Comic Art Professional Society is a Los Angeles-based organization of folks who create comics. It was founded in 1977 by Don Rico, Sergio Aragonés and myself and it's still going strong. At the moment, it's having its annual auction to raise money…and the way it works is that half goes to help defray the organization's operating expenses and half goes to a worthy cause. This year, the worthy cause is to donate in honor of the late Dave Stevens (a CAPS member) and raise bucks for the Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation. Hairy Cell Leukemia is what took our pal Dave away from us in 2008.
There are many fine pieces up for bid on May 31 — that's this coming Thursday — some of them prints of Dave's work (like the above) and some of them images of Dave's character The Rocketeer rendered by others, and there are some other goodies. Go take a look because there's probably something there you'd love to own and you can get it and give money to a good cause at the same time. You only have a few days!
