Headlocked Comics, a comics publisher that specializes in creating comics about and with professional wrestlers, has announced a fundraiser to benefit MIRAC: Minnesota Immigrant Resource Action Committee, a nonprofit that’s helping families impacted by the ICE Raids in Minnesota.
This is the second time Headlocked and former AEW tag-team champion Brody King — known for wearing “Abolish ICE” shirts at wrestling venues — have raised funds to support immigrant families. Last summer they sold a variant cover of a comic co-written by King and Headlocked’s Mike Kingston featuring King wearing the shirt to raise funds for those in Los Angeles affected by the raids.
This time around, Do A Powerbomb creator Daniel Warren Johnson created a variant cover that went up for sale on the Headlocked Comics website featuring King:
“All the proceeds will be going to MIRAC: Minnesota Immigrant Resource Action Committee to help families who’ve been affected by the ICE raids,” Kingston wrote on Substack. “They provide multiple services including food and legal aid to immigrants and the one-two punch of the raids combined with the federal government cutting off federal aid to the state….there’s going to be a ton of folks in need.”
Headlocked put three versions of the cover up for sale on their website tonight, two of which were limited to 100 copies each (and have already sold out). The third one retails for $25, with an option to add autographs by Kingston or King to the book.
