Early this morning, the Texas home of award-winning writer/artist Lea Hernandez, my friend and co-creator of the graphic novel Killer Princesses, caught fire and burned. Half her house is now gone, and the rest is smoke-damaged. In addition, she lost at least six of her family’s beloved pets, two dogs and four cats. If you knew Lea, you’d know how devastating that is.
She’s lost a great deal of her family’s possessions, including irreplaceable art. She doesn’t yet know the full accounting of what’s been lost at this time.
Most know Lea as the brilliant creator of such works as Rumble Girls and Cathedral Child. She drew the Marvel Mangaverse PUNISHER book, and has drawn for TRANSMETROPOLITAN, among many other accomplishments. She is also the co-founder and original editor for GIRL-A-MATIC, one of the most important venues for female-friendly comics created to date.
Mrs Lea is one of us. She's posted here off and on since the Worlds Finest days.. she's a wonderful woman and an insperation to me.
As individuals, we can help.. but as a group, we can do wonders.
Right now. If you're willing to donate items, send them to me and I'll start ebaying them the second I get them. PM me if you're interested...
Re: I'm calling every single one of you out right now!
