Marvel Spotlight

HEROES
Cover by Alex Ross
Various Creators

Comic book universes are populated by colorful characters that possess fantastic powers.

But on September 11th, 2001, an untold number of real men and women amazed the world with their phenomenal acts of bravery.

When others ran away, they charged forward. When others reached out for safety, they offered a helping hand. When others cried out, they responded with a soothing voice.

And, tragically, many of them died...but in doing so taught us all how to live.

They can't stick to walls.
They can't summon thunder.
They can't fly.

They're just HEROES.

Proceeds from the sale of HEROES will go to the Twin Towers Fund, which is providing much needed financial aid to families of firefighters, police officers, and other uniformed personnel who died during the attack on the WTC.

Additional donations can be made to:
The Twin Towers Fund,
General Post Office,
P.O. Box 26999,
New York, NY 10087-6999.

Bump for this.

There's supposedly a great rendition in here of the heroes of the PA flight confronting the terrorists. Anyone got a scan?

Oh, heck....I'll go buy it. ;-p

I just read in US News today that the Beamer fellow (HERO!) on flight 93 recited the Lord's Prayer with his wife on the phone before he and other passengers went to take on the hijackers.

Very Inspiring.

I haven't bought a comic book in 10+ years, but this page reminded me what a powerful medium they can be.

I for one will be buying these for Christmas gifts.

One question that Marvel will have to address...

Where were the Avengers? Where was Daredevil? Where was Tony Stark? How to go Marvel. An excellent tribute to those that have left us, especially the 93ers and Barbara Olson!

I own a comic book store and Marvel sold out the initial 100,000 immediately. Next shipment should be next week.
