The Hellboy 100 Project

The Dan Bereton Hellboy cover is my favorite from the Heroes Initiative Hellboy 100 Project.

The Heroes Initiative is an organization that…

…creates a financial safety net for comic creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. Since inception, the Hero Initiative has been fortunate enough to benefit more than 50 creators and their families with over $950,000 worth of much-needed aid, fueled by your contributions! It’s a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.

One of the cool fundraising ideas that the Heroes Initiative came up with was the Hellboy 100 Project.  Heroes Initiative in collaboration with Dark Horse Comics got over 100 artists to create an original Hellboy cover on specially printed blank Hellboy and the BRPD 1952 #1 covers.  The original art was then auctioned off with the proceeds going to the Hero Initiative.  In additional the 100+ pieces were collected in special edition hard and trade paperback books again with the proceeds going to support the Hero Initiative.

You can see all 100+ pieces of Hellboy art here.  You can purchase a hardcover or a softcover (and help support the Heroes Initiative) here.
