L.A. STRONG Charity Comic Ready for Retail Orders

I’ve reviewed a number of anthologies, and read even more than I’ve shared, and the main thing I always come back to is clarity of purpose. The problem with comics anthologies based on tragedy is the slippery slope of coming across as maudlin but, in the case of L.A. STRONG, I believe the end result works. What drives home the point is that here is a book where the proceeds from sales go to help those hurt by the Los Angeles fires. The publisher of this project, Mad Cave Studios, states that 100% of the profits are being donated to relief efforts. This book is being made immediately available to retailers via Lunar Distribution. So, if you own a comic book shop or bookstore, then this will be of special interest to you. For comics fans, L.A. STRONG will be available as of 03/19/25, and you can pre-order.

Getting a chance to look over the sample pages, I gotta say that the above piece with art by Nicola Izzo really stands out. Honestly, you could buy this comic for this page alone.

Retailers, head over to Lunar or check out the mailer you have already received:
