John Ostrander needs your help

From Comics Should Be Good:

I wanted to wait until now to mention it, so no one would forget between the time this was first announced and this weekend, when the action actually is.

On Saturday night at the Chicago Comic Con, there is going to be a special auction to raise money to help comic book writer John Ostrander pay for some badly needed (and expensive) eye surgery he recently had (that his insurance would not cover).

Check out Comix4Sight to get more details on how you can chip in to help one of comic’s great writers!

There’s an amazing gallery there of various pieces which are being auctioned off, and there’s details on how you can contribute some cash to Mr. Ostrander!

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting John (and his late wife, Kim Yale) on a few separate occasions, and he is probably the nicest person I’ve met in the entire comic book industry. Combine that with a writing portfolio that is mediocre at worst, and contains some great works, such as Suicide Squad, GrimJack, and Spectre.

So, if you can afford it, please help Mr. Ostrander.
