Right now a series of exciting one of a kind auctions are up on eBay to benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund! First up, from Neil Gaiman: Lisa Snellings Clark makes strange, magical art things out of the honey and bees that I sent her. (And then, being Lisa, she puts the things up on eBay for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. Here's Bee, Honey, Drones and a Poppet and here's the Queen bee in repose) Also on eBay, you can get Matt Wagner's personal sketched copy of the super-rare hardcover edition of Batman/Grendel! Twenty years in the making, the recent release of BATMAN VS. GRENDEL from Dark Horse and DC Comics is the compilation of two classic crossover-publishing events that fans have greeted with the highest anticipation. The signed and numbered hardcover edition was limited to just 300 copies and was vastly over-ordered, resulting in severe allocation for distribution to retail shops. Now, writer/artist and creator of Grendel, MATT WAGNER has donated one of his own, private editions to the CBLDF. This volume is numbered 18/AP out of only 65 Artist Proof editions and is signed by Wagner on the book's exclusive signature plate. Additionally, Wagner has rendered and signed a fully painted original "sketch" inside the book. This eye-catching piece depicts both Batman as well as the infamous Hunter Rose incarnation of Grendel and stretches across the front, black endpapers, spanning the binding gutter. This is the ONLY copy of this entire run that Wagner will decorate in this spectacular manner, making it THE unique edition of this highly sought-after publication. Check out more details on this auction with a special interview with Matt Wagner on Newsarama . All proceeds from these special auctions benefit the CBLDF!
