'Archie' gets Hero Initiative treatment
Published Thursday, Mar 25 2010, 11:52 GMT | By Hugh Armitage
Fifty blank covered copies of the forthcoming milestone Archie #600 have been printed and given to 50 artists to create their own original covers for the Archie Covers: Fifty Times an American Icon project.
The original covers will be sold at a Hero Initiative benefit auction, and a book will be published collecting the art.
Neal Adams, Darwyn Cooke, Sam Kieth, Jerry Ordway, George Pérez, John Romita and Tim Sale have so far been confirmed for the project.
Marvel has previously completed similar initiatives including ones for Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk and Wolverine: Weapon X.
The Hero Initiative is a not-for-profit organisation that supports comic creators in need.
