When A Tree Fell On Kevin Mellon

Kevin Mellon drew the comic book Heart or Image Comics, which I rather liked. He's always struck me as a rather good egg. Which apparently, nature cannot abide. Last  week, this happened.

It made the local news.

Mellon has been taking things in good spirits…

And a few others have taken up the cudgel.

But things must be done. Matt Fraction wrote to his e-mail list

Kevin Mellon is a wonderful dude, a great artist, and last sunday, A TREE FELL ON HIS F-CKING HOUSE AND ON TOP OF HIM while he was asleep.  "He's out of the hospital and resting now. No major damage – somehow, he's walking away with just a lot of bruises. He's the luckiest unlucky guy ever," a mutual friend told me.

And passed on word from Mellon's housemate Brooke who said:

Submissions for KevinZine (working title, PLEASE suggest a better one) can be extremely quick and dirty, and the general theme is "Things that delight Kevin and let him know he's loved." Individual page dimensions will be 8.5 x 5.5 in, we'll be printing in b&w, and submissions will be pretty varied. (Poems, four-panel comic strips, etc.) We're trying to get things wrapped up by Sunday so we can get this to Kevin quicklike, but can be flexible. We'll obviously credit all contributors, and if enough people want a copy, I can make that happen too.

PDFs or JPGS should be fine. 300 DPI is ideal but we'll be printing this in true DIY style, so lower resolution isn't a dealbreaker.

Get in touch here if you can.
