Rob Liefeld Auctioning Sketches to Benefit Comic Stores on Instagram

Rob Liefeld is auctioning off original art and sketches to help benefit struggling comic book stores. Today is the third day, with all of the money being directly paid to comic shops when the auctions close. Rob is offering to draw comics characters, anime characters, and taking requests for the sketches, which has led to gems like this admittedly great Venompool/Raphael TMNT piece.

Say what you will about Rob Liefeld, but the man does a ton of giving back for the comics community. His fans are legion, and they are raising a ton of money for comic shops with these auctions. The above piece was at $1200 with a few hours to go as of this posting. that is a huge chunk of change for a comic shop right now.
