Jim Lee Auctions Artwork To Help Struggling Comic Shops

A Legend Giving Back

Jim Lee is more than just an iconic artist. On top of being the Publisher and Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics, he’s also taking it upon himself to play the role of hero to brick and mortar comic shops struggling to survive an ever-growing stay at home mandate throughout America due to the coronavirus.

It’s no secret that Lee’s artwork is popular, not just with DC fans, but with most comic book readers in general.

Having drawn some of the most iconic comic book covers of all time, Lee has been a driving force in the industry since his days on Uncanny X-Men. His pencilling, with or without color or inks, is a must-have for avid comic art collectors.

And Lee is using the power of his pencil for good–auctioning off artwork for the next two months to raise money for random comic book shops, hoping to alleviate some of the hit they are taking from state-mandated self-quarantine measures.
