Dynamic Forces CEO selling original art to benefit CBLDF
Dynamic Forces CEO Nick Barrucci is making pieces from his personal art collection available to the public. Pages from series like Uncanny X-Men, Ultimate Spider-Man, The Punisher, The Order, The Outsiders, Robin and more will be available.
Barrucci, who has been collecting pages of original comic book art for three decades, is selling off random pages from his collection for a good cause. A portion of the sale proceeds will benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF). The CBLDF is a non-profit organization that provides legal aid, advocacy and education to protect First Amendment rights of creators, retailers, readers, publishers and librarians of comics, graphic novels and manga.
“Art collecting has been a passion of mine for years,” Barrucci said. “For the past 30 years, I have been picking up pieces from my favorite artists whenever I can. I look at my collection on a regular basis, as I love to appreciate the form, and I was looking at some of these pages by great artists including Mark Bagley, Patrick Zircher and one of my favorite contemporary art teams – Tom Raney and Scott Hanna, and thought that while I have a great collection, I couldn’t possibly appreciate it all properly, as with Mark, Patrick, Tom and Scott I have over 400 pages of these fantastic artists and a few other incredible contemporary artists.
“I had contemplated selling these via auction houses, but realized that many fans may not have access to original art, and thought it would be cool to offer to the comics fan base first,” he added. “This is the ultimate one-of-a-kind comics collectible as there is only one of each piece of original art, which is why we need to fill each order randomly.I just felt like it was a good time to let more fans experience what I have and own a piece of the comics they love so much, and we can help out a good cause in the process.”
Orders will be filled randomly per artist, so fans can order pages specifically by Mark Bagley, Patrick Zircher, Tom Raney and Scott Hanna. Each page will be $75 plus shipping and handling.
“Nick’s sincere enthusiasm for comics shines through in everything he does, and we’re honored that he continues to advocate for the CBLDF’s important work with projects like this one.” states Charles Brownstein of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
