You Can Still Contribute To Dark Horse's Stan Sakai Anthology

Dark Horse is releasing the hardcover benefit book The Sakai Project: Artists Celebrate Thirty Years of Usagi Yojimbo this summer on July 23rd in conjunction with the Comic Art Professional Society (CAPS) and all proceeds from this book will go to Stan and Sharon Sakai to help with medical needs for their family. It's a tribute book timed with the 30th anniversary of Usagi, and contributors are already quite wide-ranging in their support of the project and celebration of the comic and its creator. 

The current list of contributors includes:

ADAM HUGHES | ALAIN MAURICET | ALEX MALEEV | ALLISON SOHN | ANDY GRENEN | ARTHUR ADAMS | BATTON LASH | BILL MORRISON | BRIAN CHING & MICHAEL ATIYEH | BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS | CARLOS D'ANDA & GABE ELTAEB | CHRIS SCALF | DAN PANOSIAN | DAVE GIBBONS | DAVID MACK | DOUG WHEATLEY | EDGAR DELGADO | ERIC POWELL | GABRIEL HARDMAN | GEOF DARROW | HOWARD CHAYKIN | JAN DUURSEMA | JEFF SMITH | JOYCE CHIN | MARK CRILLEY | MATT GROENING | MATT WAGNER | MICHAEL ALLRED | MICHAEL AVON OEMING | MICHAEL GOLDEN | MIKE KUNKEL | MIKE MIGNOLA | OSCAR MARTIN | PAUL GULACY | PAUL RENAUD | PHIL YEH | RICHARD CORBEN | SCOTT SHAW | SERGIO ARAGONÉS | STEPHANIE GLADDEN | TIM SALE | TOM MANDRAKE | TOM RICHMOND | WALTER SIMONSON | WILLIAM STOUT |

And "many more" not yet listed. The project is, however, still looking for contributions to the anthology from industry professionals. Maybe some Tweets and encouragement to participate are in order? The final deadline for submissions is February 20, 2014 and Dark Horse notes:
