Guardians of the Galaxy is coming August 1, and July is going to be a celebration of all things Guardians AND a special benefit art month for Bill Mantlo here at Multiversity. All month, we’ll be posting Guardians-related pieces created by some of our favorite artists, and at the end of the month there will be an auction of many of the pieces of original art to help the man who created Rocket Raccoon, Bill Mantlo. It’s going to be an exciting month, but you can help Bill even if you don’t bid on any art. Read more about Bill and his story here, and if you feel moved to donate to Bill yourself, you can do so by clicking here.
Rafael Albuquerque is the artist on “American Vampire,” his creator owned book with Scott Snyder, which recently launched its “second cycle” for Vertigo. In addition to doing almost a year’s worth of incredible “B.P.R.D.” covers, he also drew the ‘Evolve or Die’ arc with Jeff Lemire on “Animal Man” for DC. He’s not just an artist, though – he has recently written pieces for both “Batman: Black and White” and “Legends of the Dark Knight” for DC. He lives in Brazil, can be found on Twitter (@rafaalbuquerque), on his website, and you can buy some of his original art via Cadence Comic Art.
Rafael’s uncolored original piece will be auctioned off later this summer to benefit Bill Mantlo. Stay tuned for auction information!
If you are a professional artist interested in donating a piece for the auction, please email brian@multiversitycomics.com or david@multiversitycomics.com for more details.
