Cosplay for a Cause
It’s been several months since the magnitude 9.0 Tōhoku earthquake devastated Northeastern Japan, and while the subject no longer dominates our headlines, the entire region remains in need. To help support the relief efforts, a group of relatively well-known cosplayers have gotten together to create a cosplay calender for charity with 100% of the proceeds going to the Japanese Red Cross society. The full sized calender will open to 11″ x 22″ with the actual photos measuring at 11″ x 17″.
In addition, several major comic artists have decided to lend their talents by creating a small illustration to go along with each photo. The artists include Cully Hamner (Red,) Mark Brooks (Ultimate X-Men,) Eric Canete (Justice League Unlimited,) and Brian Stelfreeze (Jonah Hex.) The calender itself will run you $17.99, but remember it’s for a cause. For more information, head over to the official site and order yours today.
