The Hero Initiative Teams with Graham Crackers Comics


I'm a big fan of The Hero initiative. Its goal of helping veteran comic creators in medical or financial need is truly commendable and something that warrants merit. It can't provide that support without some revenues though and thanks to a recent deal with Chicagoland retail giant Graham Crackers Comics they will.
The partnership will see products from The Hero Initiative being carried in a full-service online store.

“Graham Crackers’ central location in the middle of the continent will save us time and money shipping from printing plants, and get shipments into fans’ hands faster than ever,” said Hero Initiative President Jim McLauchlin.

“We’re thrilled to be given a chance to help in an even greater capacity with the Hero Initiative. All of the stores managers are delighted to have dedicated Hero Initiative sections in each of the nine stores and offer customers such an easy way to help creators and still get some quality goods in return!” said Graham Crackers co-owner John Robinson.

The products will be carried at all nine locations. Full press release after the jump.
