Hot on the heels of the Joe Quesada Lunch auction which closed for $405, Texas native Scott Kurtz, creator of
PvP, is using the opening day of WizardWorld Texas to announce a brand new fundraising auction for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
Starting now and running until next Friday, the Fund is offering the original cover painting for
PvP #6 by the inimitable James Kochalka.
PvP #6 collects "Graphamaximo," Kurtz's satire of the alternative comics scene. The cover is a beautifully executed painting by Kochalka, one of today's most popular and prolific indy cartoonists.
Kurtz explains, "James insisted that we donate the cover to the CBLDF. It was hard to let go because it's such a beautiful piece, but James brought me to my senses. I live one hour away from where Jesus Castillo sold an adult book to an adult and was arrested for it. We need the CBLDF now more than ever. It's insane what's passing for justice these days. It would be terrifying to have to defend yourself against such lunacy without any support."
PvP #6 is in this month's Previews. The auction is online
here.
