The Hero Initiative

Blurbs

About me:

The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strictly to helping comic book creators in need. We create a financial safety net for yesterday’s creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, or entrée back into paying work.

The Hero Initiative exists because many Golden Age or Silver Age creators toiled in comics’ earlier days for low pay and with a nonexistent pension plan. Very often, writers would work for a penny a word, or artists for $5 a page with no chance of ownership and no pension. Today, many of these people who laid the groundwork that today’s comic industry works on may be in dire straits. Be it due to age, health, or just low salaries with no retirement plan, they may need a hand.

For more information, check out http://www.heroinitiative.com and http://www.facebook.com/heroinitiative.

Who I'd like to meet:

The Hero Initiative needs trustworthy volunteers to run booths at comic conventions; and professionals with specialized knowledge to lend support to the organization, Computer techs, layout and design artists, and certified accountants are always needed. If you can help by donating time, please email us!

    Thought that you might enjoy this spectacular music video made with stunning martial art moves that will take your breath away! Strongly recommend play in full screen to get the indented effects. This is a tribute to simply the best female martial artist of all time, Cynthia Rothrock, with over 40 different movies to her credits. It was inspired by my wife, who appreciates martial arts and what Cynthia Rothrock represents. I hope you watch it in its entirety to the end of the revolutionary “visual credits” (a must see), I know that you will love. I hope I made it worth your while to watch! Don’t forget to rate me, and I do sincerely hope you enjoy “Rothrock Tribute” music video!
