Jim Lee, Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics is the very definition of a comics lifer. And as a lifer with an audience and a platform, he’s stepping up to help comic shops that are closed because of COVID-19 stay-at-home orders around the world.

Lee decided as these stay-at-home orders started to roll in that he would draw one sketch a day for 60 days; auction the sketches on eBay; let the auction winners pick the subject of the next sketch; and donate the proceeds to the Book Industry Charitable (BINC) foundation. And we are excited to reveal Lee’s next sketch subject: Grifter and Zealot

Grifter and Zealot are original creations of Lee’s, part of his super team WildC.A.T.S. when he created his own superhero universe for Wildstorm.

The BINC foundation is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to helping bookstores and bookstore employees in need. They are doing some heavy lifting in the COVID crisis, adding comic shops to their portfolio and offering grants to help pay operating expenses for shops who have lost their already thin margins.
