Help a comic shop to fight cancer

Donation protected
Venus McCrea Winston (1982-2016) was a wonderfully talented woman. To know her was to love her. She was an inspiring artist and devoted mother who valiantly battled cancer.

Though as an artist, Venus expressed herself through her art and when diagnosed, she fought back and educated others through a cookbook, which was internationally recognized and created a comic book to express her journey with cancer in the hopes of showing others that have been diagnosed that they are not alone.

Tragically in December 2016, Venus lost her battle with cancer. Her legacy is so powerful that we want to open a comic book shop in her memory and name it after her.
This comic book shop has been a lifelong dream of ours and to dedicate it to our dear friend and to such a worthwhile cause will be great for the community.

The donated funds would go to getting the store off the ground which includes getting the location, acquiring the fixtures, getting the POS system, our first-month order of comics and graphic novels, and even apparel and figurines. some of which we will be making ourselves with a 3D printer and getting supplies to help independent and local comic creators have a voice in this industry. you see, we are running out of time, the location in Union Station we are looking at has another person looking at it as well. We will be carrying major titles while providing an opportunity for independent titles as well. We can’t do it without you. Here’s how you can help. By helping to fund this cause, once the location is open, proceeds from the store will be donated to cancer research to help find a cure.

We need your help to make this happen to help make many dreams come true, from the independent comic community to patients who will have a little bit more of a fighting chance. It would mean the world to us and we would greatly appreciate it Please donate. Whatever you can. You will be helping so many, just by helping one. We want to take this time to thank everyone in advance.
