The KOGI BBQ truck has just signed up to swing by the event to sell their delicious food wares! Check out http://kogibbq.com/ to get your mouth ready! The Kogi Krew will be here from 10:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.  For every person who participates in 24 Hour Comics Day or buys a Kogi taco, The Comic Bug will donate $1 to Foodbank of Southern California.  Let’s have a fun event and help out those in need! www.foodbankofsocal.org

THAT’S NOT ALL! We’ll be holding a top secret (’til now, that is) SALE in the shop from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. What? That’s too late/too early for a sale?! That’s when we get the craziest with our deals, ya’ll! We can’t just GIVE you this stuff! You gotta earn it by getting up in the dewey, wee-ass hours of the morning and dragging your duff down to the Comic Bug, tattered shopping list in hand!

Who knew he could write AAAND draw!?! Daaaaaamn! – (I wonder if he can balance a table on his chin while juggling 3 bowling ball…. probably yes.)

We raised and donated over $2,200 to a great charity, ACTOR, which supports the great artists who founded this industry. Check them out at www.actorcomicfund.org. Thank you to all the fans that came out and supported this worthwhile cause!

“The Comic Bug” Comes to the Aid of Tsunami Orphans Over 300 patrons attended the Comic Bug’s Tsunami Relief sale January 15th and 16th, raising over $1,700 for the UNICEF Tsunami Relief Effort. The sale had been planned months before the natural disaster struck South but after store owner Jun Goeku viewed footage of the aftermath, he decided to take action by donating the entirety of the weekends profits to an organization dedicated to helping children affected by the Tsunami.

Artists participating included
Guy (“Gone South”, “Dead at 17″) LeMay
Rafael (“Sonambulo”) Navarro
Philip (“Scarlet Fox”, “Soul Assassin”) Victor
Chuck (“Secret Skull”) B.B.
Josh (“Plan B”) Williamson and his Big Boss comics crew & Mike Buntyn, talented artist.

“I felt devastated and hopeless when I heard about what happened,” said Aerosol Press’ Philip Victor. “I was more than happy to participate in this event and do whatever I could to help in the recovery process. Rest assured, this is just the beginning.”

“Events like these should be a wake-up call to the rest of the world,” said Atomic Basement artist Guy LeMay. “If anything good could come of this, it’s the hope that everyone out there, our nation’s leaders included, wakes up and realizes that we’re all in this together.”
