Suley Fattah with a note about the new Cancer Research benefit book (thanks to Diana Tamblyn):

It’s done!

Finally, our new book, DRAWING THE LINE AGAIN (DTLA) is now AVAILABLE!! We sold over fifty at our “comic” launch April 28-30th during the Paradise Comic Convention. We’ve moved over 500 into various shops and businesses this past week –on consignment sales.

Recently, DTLA received a 5-star review in Metro News!! We were dumbfounded with the pleasing review. Here's a link to the online METRO article... http://www.metronews.ca/books_review.asp?id=15961

The new book is truly bigger and better! It saw over 60 artists involved and has 25% more in its 152 pages! We are proud to say that the production value has gone up as we've put all our knowledge and experience from the first book to use here. Thanks to our print sponsor, Kasra of VEI Press, the overall physical quality is better, too. The front cover is by Moebius [world-renown for his ‘Heavy Metal’ comics and for his contributions to sci-fi films]. The back cover is by Götting, who paints the French Harry Potter covers.

Our fundraising mandate continues: 100% of the proceeds of the sale of our books and donations equally benefit Sick Kids Foundation and the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation – all to conquer cancer. Please let your friends and family know that they can get the books on-line at www.benefitcomic.com or from you! Please, spread the word and don’t hold back.

Our asking price is still $20 and since we still have some of Drawing The Line books we're offering a special, namely: buy both books for $30. The first book has raised over $13,000 [and counting]. This is the suggested price. Of course, any size gift is always appreciated.

I just want to say, how abundantly clear it is to me that this project could not have happened with out your support, love and generosity. I thank you from the bottom of my heart! This project has made a profound difference to how I live my life and how I look at cancer: though it is something that I have and live with, the day will come when we conquer it! Let’s continue the journey…together.
