ATF: Samuel Jackson Made Me Cry

And so did Gerry Duggan.

"Auction is for the double sided theater teaser poster for Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace which has been autographed by the one and only Samuel L. Jackson! Poster comes with a certificate of authenticity from writer Gerry Duggan which states that not only is the signature legit, but that its specifically being offered for this cause."

Thank you, Gerry Duggan, for that. Wow.

There's also a fistful of scripts from Marv Wolfman now: Infinite Crisis Secret Files, Teen Titans Season 1 Ep. 8, and Nightwing #125.

ATF: Tom Beland

For whatever reason, no news sites other than journalista!, We Shall March and blog@Newsarama posted a press release that Jeffrey La Jaune's generous ATF auctions to help my family are concluding.
EDIT: MY sincere apologies to Tom Spurgeon, who mentioned the auction at The Comics Reporter on February 1st, when I put up the first notice. (http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/briefings/blog_monthly/2007/02/)
If I've missed anyone else, let me know. I don't like to admit I'm a dolt, but I'll be glad to do it.

Jeffery had personal problems to attend to before he could eBay items donated by Marv Wolfman, Brad Meltzer, Gerry Duggan (a signed by Samuel Jackson (yeah THAT one!) Phantom Menace poster), Tom Beland, Tom Stillwell, and others.

I'd think the Tom Beland would be a gimmie, since it's the only sketchbook Mr. True Story Swear to God has ever released for sale. It's pretty darn nice! It'd be a damn shame, not for me, but for Tom Beland, if it went for only $200., you know?

True Sketchbook, Swear to God!
EDIT: The auction concluded with a lucky bidder getting Tom's sketchbook for just under $250. Tahnk you!

I'm appealing to my regular readers to spread the word by linking to this post about the rest of the auctions (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZblaize). It would be a HUGE help!

You'll not only be helping us pay for post-fire medical care (we had fire insurance, but not medical), but also honoring these fine fellas for their amazing contributions!
