It’s my distinct honor of announcing THE WALT SIMONSON as the next artist in our hit cavalcade of creators who are generously donating sketches to our fundraising efforts! Like all of you—I’m a huge fan of Walter’s work (both his writing and his art!) from his epic run on Thor to his Alien OGN to his Fantastic Four run to X-Factor to Havok-Wolverine: Meltdown to his Fourth World work! The list goes on and on. Besides being this incredible, massive talent—he’s also one of the most humble and gracious. And giving. Many years ago, I was fortunate to be able to visit Walt in his home and pepper him with questions about his art and work process which still inspires me to this day. Like many of my art heroes, Walt is fearless when it comes to creating. The power and energy he is able to convey through his line work is just unparalleled and a master class in evoking emotion through image. So excited to see what he creates to help raise money for struggling comic shops in need via @thinkingbinc! Sound off below what you would like Walt to draw! I’ll present the top 3 vote-getters to him and then post up here and on eBay what he dreams up! #comicbookunitedfund
