Here’s an absolutely cool comics event that may help save lives.
Wednesday, May 28th the Hang Dai Studios gang of Dean Haspiel (The Fox, American Splendor), Christa Cassano (The Giant Effect) and Josh Neufeld (The Vagabonds) will be signing at JHU to celebrate Haspiel’s art in FF #5. But it’s also World Blood Cancer Day and in support of photographer/writer/Hang Dai member Seth Kushner, who is being treated for leukemia, they will also host a bone marrow drive. Getting a DNA sample involves a cheek swab, so if you’re up for it and eligible, come on down, see some cool cartoonists and do something for a good cause.
Delete Blood Cancer is going to be here, swabbing and informing folks on how being a donor works. (More on that below!) Even if we don’t find a match for Seth at our event, there are millions of others that could use your help and you as their match!
Come out, get some comics, meet some great people and help out in the name of one of our great, talented friends!
