Earlier this year, a bunch of us got together and created a book called Comics For Ukraine. It's a benefit comic to benefit folks in Ukraine whose lives have been devastated by the ongoing war there and many of the stories in this book address their plight, directly or indirectly. My partner Sergio Aragonés and I contributed a new tale of Groo the Wanderer and there are stories by others whose names appear below.
Many of you already procured copies by contributing to the crowd-funding campaign. Now, those of you who didn't get in on that have a chance to buy copies and, of course, help those over there in dire need of assistance. There are NINE (9) different editions of this book, all with the same interiors, and they're all available for immediate purchase at the Zoop HQ Platform. Here are the nine versions…
