FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE:
Show promoters Brett Carreras (VA Comicon) and Shelton Drum (Heroes Con) have partnered with Super-Star cover artist Dan Parent (Creator of Kevin Keller) and legendary publisher Archie Comics (Riverdale) to bring a once-in-lifetime LTD 250 collector’s experience to market, with 100% of the proceeds going to assist Ukrainian Child Refugees.
“I simply could not watch another day of the news without wanting to help the 5 million people who are now refugees…so many of whom are children.” said Carreras. “When my friend, Shelton Drum, asked me to work with him and Dan Parent on a Heroes Con Archie exclusive, I agreed on one condition…we donate 100% of the proceeds to help these scared children.”
“Within days, we had the full support of cover artist Dan Parent and Archie comics, all of whom donated 100% of their time and resources to see this incredible project come to life…and we are THRILLED to debut these LTD 250 Archie exclusives in person at HeroesCon 2022!”
So, now the decision is YOURS! It’s time to decide if you are on team Betty or team Veronica, but no matter WHICH side you are on, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to UNICEF, an internationally recognized charity which takes less than 4% of their donations for Administration, with all of our donations specifically allocated to help Ukrainian Child Refugees.
These will go on sale live directly from Dan Parent at Heroes Con (June 24-26) in Charlotte, NC, with the original cover artwork being auctioned off Saturday June 25th at the legendary Heroes Con Art Auction…with 100% of the winning bid going to UNICEF as well!
For those unable to attend Heroes Con, and want to help NOW, a ltd number of pre-order copies will be available through Carreras’ VA Comicon website at https://vacomicon.com/benefitcomic/
We want to thank Dan Parent and our friends at Archie Comics for bringing this project to life so quickly. Hopefully with YOUR help, we can make a real difference for a lot of innocent children in need. Thank you.
