Hey gang,
The following has been going around, and, if you can help at all,
please read up. I've known Josh for four or five years, and aside from
being a kick ass artist, he is one of the sweetest guys in this business.
He's best known for his work with Steve Niles, and has been doing some
amazingly fresh work as a horror artist. He's far too young to be
going through this crap, and, the world being what it is, well... y'know...
Read up on what you can do to help.

It has come to my attention one of Image's own, Josh Medors (artist of
the upcoming FRANK FRAZETTA'S SWAMP DEMON), has long been fighting
cancer. While things have been on the upswing, a recent analysis showed a
recently removed tumor has come back and unless his radiation therapy
helps, he may only have three months to live.



In light of this news, we've immediately organized an auction for this
upcoming Emerald City Comic Con to support Josh.



From Frazetta Comics Editor, Jay Fotos:

------------------------------------------------------------------

I have some not good news...

Josh Medors, artist on Frazetta's Swamp Demon has cancer, he went in
and got a tumor removed from his spine a few months ago and it's back and
with more specialists involved found out it's a very rare cancer that
is normally found in the brain.

He is in kemo therapy now and was told if this does not work he has 3
months to live.

Of course like most freelance artists he does not have insurance.

So, I would like to do as much as I can to raise some money to help pay
for
some of his bills.

I'm working with Image Comics now on setting up a auction at Emerald
City Comicon(in 2 weeks)...that Frazetta Comics will have a booth
at.

So I ask everyone here is that you can donate something for this
auction that would be greatly appreciated.

Josh is a good friend, father and artist.

With the support from the comic industry that he loves dearly, we can
all help ease his pain just a little would be most appreciated.

Please contact me on what you would like to donate.

They can be sent to:

Jim Demonakos
c/o ECCC Medors Auction
