Donated female character from "The Key" along with over 80 comic creators to raise awareness and money for this cause. Information about the cause below.


Monday, January 11th is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. To participate, we formed the Comic Creator's Alliance--a group of over eighty comic book creators (both web and print) who volunteered our artistic talents to raise money and awareness for this cause. You may not know it, but there are currently 27 million enslaved people worldwide- more than double the number of enslaved Africans during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. UNICEF estimates that 1.2 million children every year are sold into slavery, most of it sexual. The US Department of Justice estimates 16,000 victims of human trafficking are brought into the United States every year. Unlike slavery in the 19th century, what is happening today is happening in secret. So it won't end until awareness is raised, and people like you and me take a stand.

So here's what we did: each creator contributed an original drawing of one of our own female characters, and combined them into a single wallpaper image. The wallpaper features characters from The Phoenix Requiem, Girls with Slingshots, Earthsong, Looking for Group, Shadowgirls, Marsh Rocket, The Uniques and three IDW Publishing titles: Fallen Angel, The Dreamland Chronicles and The Dreamer, and lots, lots more! Donate today to download this unique, once-in-a-lifetime wallpaper. The Donations Drive will last for two weeks, from January 11th - 24th. All proceeds will be split evenly between Love146 and Gracehaven House- two organizations working on rehabilitation of victims and prevention of this crime.

This is an amazing piece! The coloring job is top notch. This would make a nice pin up for the comic. And kudos to you for helping out a good cause.

Thanks! I just found out recently they raised close to $10,000 for the cause, which is awesome! Any help is greatly appreciated from them.(the cause)

Ha, I think you're in my head. I was planning on sticking this in the comic or collected trade ;)

Funny, this doesn't look like the inside of your head. I thought there would be more a lot more lovely ladies dressed in hot outfits and one guy for them lead around on a leash. And no, that's not the inside of my head. Beat ya to it. :-P

That's ok. I'm happy with people being "aware" of what is going on right now.
