Steve Dillon, artist of Wolverine: Origins and Preacher, made CBH a stop on his Hero Initiative tour.Steve himself gave this report on the ComicsPRO blog:
“The signing at Captain Blue Hen went really well. Joe and his crew had raised a rake of dosh (that’s English for ‘loads of money’) for Hero before I’d even uncapped a Sharpie. There was a really good crowd and, once again, my drawing arm was given a good workout with a few people going round for a second time. We finally finished up at around 9-30 and retired for beer, food and conversation about strange movies. It’s been great to be able to meet the fans and chat with them in a relaxed environment at all the stores I’ve been to so far. Conventions just don’t have the same feel. Getting to talk to the people at the sharp end (i.e. the retailers and their staff) has been a great bonus for me on this tour as, without their efforts, there’d be no market for the stuff that guys like me are doing.”
We enjoyed having Steve Dillon here and having his fans join us. Hero Initiative appreciates your support. Together we raised over a thousand dollars for the organization. It was a fun way to give back to people who have given us so much enjoyment throughout the years.
A big thank you to Mr. Dillon and to all of you who participated in the auction, the fund-raising and the signing!
BACK ISSUE #30 - This 100-page magazine “tunes in to your favorite Saturday Morning Heroes, headlined by the 1970s’ Shazam! comics revival and TV show—including interviews with TV Captain Marvels JACKSON BOSTWICK [ask Joe and Dave about their encounter with him in Chicago] and JOHN DAVEY”

MY NAME IS BRUCE ONE SHOT - Who doesn’t love Bruce Campbell? This one shot compliments the upcoming movie of the same name.
SOLOMON KANE #1 - New stories featuring Robert E. Howard’s Puritan on a mission versus the supernatural forces of evil.
For you procastinators out there, the HERO INITIATIVE auction is history! Although the live portion of the auction was sparsely attended, those who showed up knew that there were bargains to be had and took advantage of it. Overall, 29 different people participated and most of the lots found a new home. The following three people were generous enough to just donate items to the cause and Captain Blue Hen Comics and Hero Initiative want to express our appreciation: Shane Harris (representing FWF wrestling - Funkamania 5 is October 5th at the Christiana Fire Hall), James Donaldson, and a special thanks to Josh Bryan for really supporting the cause (check out Josh’s Punisher display in the front showcases - just in time for Steve Dillon’s visit this Wednesday -Thanks, again, Josh!)
Top Vertigo Series to Become Film Franchise
Lost writer Brian K. Vaughn completed his award-winning Y: the Last Man comic book series this year and director D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye) just announced that the script for the movie has been completed.
Caruso says that Shia LaBeouf (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) is his first choice to pay lead character Yorick and that the film will be the first of a trilogy.
Iron Man II Influenced by Matt Fraction’s Invincible Iron Man
Iron Man II director Jon Favreau says that Justin Theroux’s script will draw the tone from the Matt Fraction Invincible Iron Man comic series. Favreau says that the series is seems to be a combination of the first film and the previous Marvel comics.
Favreau also says he hopes to include War Machine played by Terrence Howard in the sequel.
Look for Iron Man II to possibly be in IMAX and maybe even in 3-D.
