Some of you may know about this already, but comic book legend Len Wein's home was recently destroyed by a fire, along with most of his and his wife Chris' possessions. The entire family was saved except for their pet dog, who died in the fire. Len's entire comic collection is now gone, so Mark Evanier is helping spearhead an effort to replace all the comics Len wrote ( and that's a lot! ). So please click the banner below to read more about the project, and if you have some books you can donate, you can email Mark and tell him which books you plan to send. Len Wein has given many of us untold thousands of hours of entertainment, so please make a donation if you can. He wrote many Batman & Detective Comics plus not only created Wolverine ( shown in photo shaking movie star Hugh Jackman's hand ) but also invented the Swamp Thing too! Like I said, the guy is a legend, but more important than that he's a pretty nice guy.
