Get your free comics, buy a sketch and help an ailing legendary Filipino artist.
Comic Odyssey and Comicxhub have agreed to open their doors for a simultaneous sketch drive for Tony DeZuñiga on “Free Comicbook Day,” May 5.
All proceeds of the sketches that only cost at least P200 a piece will be donated to DeZuñiga’s medical costs. The wife of the co-creator of Jonah Hex informed Flipgeeks that they spend P40,000 a day for medicines and hospital bills. Tina DeZuñiga said her husband has remained unconscious since suffering a mild stroke two weeks ago.
Creators lending a hand on the sketch drive at Comicxhub are the contributors of the free“Komiks All-Star.” The shop is 
located at the third floor of Bloomingdale Plaza in Shaw Boulevard, Pasig City, a jeepney ride from Shaw MRT station.

It’s your turn to be a hero to a hero.
