I was looking over the Comicpalooza<\/a> site, when I happened upon the Autograph and Photo Prices<\/a>. Even though I find the act of charging for signatures largely deplorable, I was curious what people are demanding. While there are some free, most range from $25 to $50.<\/p>\n

Two in particular stood out to me.<\/p>\n

Simonson<\/a> Louise<\/a> <\/b>No charge<\/p>\n

Donations accepted for
Hero Initiative<\/a><\/p>\n

Simonson<\/a> Walt<\/a><\/b> No charge<\/p>\n

The Hero Initiative is a fantastic and sorely needed organization for comic book creators.<\/p>\n

\n

The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strictly to helping comic book creators in need. Hero creates a financial safety net for yesterdays’ creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It’s a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.<\/p>\n
