As several wildfires continue to burn in Los Angeles, resulting in the death of at least 11 people and burning down an estimated 12,000 homes and buildings, Mad Cave Studios has announced a benefit anthology to raise money for those impacted by the disaster.
“When tragedy strikes, we stand together. At Mad Cave Studios, we believe in the power of art to heal, inspire, and rebuild. With this anthology, we aim to honor the resilience of Los Angeles and provide much-needed support to those who have been impacted by these devastating fires,” said Mark London, Mad Cave Studios CEO, in the press release. “This is our opportunity to give back to the community that has given us so much, and we’re calling on creators and fans alike to join us in making a difference.”
L.A. Strong: A Charity Comic for Victims of the Los Angeles Fires will include
“prominent artists and writers from the comic book community.” While no release date or creators have been announced yet, the press kit did include several pieces of art by Andrea Mutti, who drew the Mad Cave title Charred Remains.
“The comics community is known for coming together and supporting their own in times of crisis. This situation is no exception,” said Mike Marts, Editor-in-Chief of Mad Cave Studios.
Mad Cave will be looking for contributions that “commemorate Los Angeles, celebrating the city’s spirit and resilience.” No doubt Mad Cave is gathering a list of possible contributors now and will share more details when they’re available.
