Peter Pantazis Raises $32,000 to Save His Family's Home From Seth Meyers, Jonathan Ross, Geof Darrow and Many More – 12 Days To Go…

Last week, Bleeding Cool highlighted the financial issue of comic book colourist Peter Pantazis and an appeal to help him save his home, after facing massive legal costs. Apparently it helped to really kick things off. He's now raised $31,114 of his $40,000 goal. There's still a way to go, but his donors include Jonathan Ross, Seth Meyers, Liam Sharp, John Scalzi, Frank Barbiere, Joe Keatinge, G Willow Wilson, Kurt Busiek, Matthew Rosenberg, Greg Pak, Jesus Merino, Jan Dursema Mandrake, Tamra Bonvillain, Steve Rotterdam, Felipe Gutierrez, Marc Lombardi, Dee Cunniffe, Neal Pozner, Geof Darrow, Adam Kubert, Graham Crackers Comics, Roger Langridge, Harris Miller, Ibrahim Moustafa, Mitch Gerads, Scott Williams, Stan Sakai, Tom Taylor, Mark Bagley, Billy Tucci, Filip Sablik, Jamal Igle, Scott Dunbier, Jann Jones, Joey Esposito, Felipe Sobreiro and Tony Isabella.

He has updated his GoFundMe, with the latest details

FEB 12TH IS STILL THE AUCTION DATE. We are still waiting to hear back from the lawyer on re-filing the Chapter 13 and for any chance of pushing the date back. However, we have been advised that the possibility of the date being pushed back is not great.

We still desperately need you to help us get the word out to anyone who might be able to help us save our home. The 12TH IS THE AUCTION DATE, however the time it takes for funds to go from Gofundme into the bank can be anywhere from 2-5 days. And that puts reaching our goal at an even tighter timeline.

On our end, we had a community garage sale this weekend with a ton of help from friends.

Work related, none other than Rick Leonardi reached out to me to color two amazing prints for his upcoming con schedule. Rick is one of my favorite artists to have ever colored. I am excited to be able to lend my color to his beautiful pieces.

My wife and I have always dealt with whatever struggles came our way. However what we are doing right now is all for our three boys. Please help us to keep them in their home.

And others have been spreading the word. In his newsletter, Greg Pak wrote,

Comics colorist Pete Pantazis has a hard deadline in about a week to raise enough money to save his home. Please do check out his GoFundMe and contribute if you can. As an added bonus, if you donate $25 or more, I'll send you a signed copy of ACTION COMICS #23.2, which Pete colored and I wrote! Just send proof of your contribution and your US mailing address to helpinghands at gregpak dot com (apologies — I can't ship overseas). I have about 20 copies of the book to give away. This is the second printing, featuring the cool lenticular 3D cover.
