With Every Copy Sold This Comic Saves Two Metres Square Of Rainforest

You may have noticed that I'm at Thought Bubble Comic Con in Harrogate this weekend, and am already finding stories amongst the lines of tables, vendors, and creators, including Paul Goodenough, founder of Rewriting Extinction who has put together The Most Important Comic Book On Earth: Stories To Save The World. But how can it make such a claim? Well, Paul Goodenough gave one of the best pitches I have ever heard of for a comic book, saying that every copy sold will save two meters squared of rainforest, and they have been buying up land in Guatemala and Ecuador with donations so far and in doing so have already saved two species from extinction.

That's not bad, is it? Can't think of any other comic book which has made that claim. All the money goes towards the good causes, contributors were not paid… and it is a very impressive contributor list, with 300 artists, writers, scientists, experts, activists, comedians, and more, all uniting to save as many species from extinction as humanly possible. It is available on Amazon US, Amazon UK or direct from the publisher.  Bleeding Cool has already run extracts from Taika Waititi, Brian Azzarello & Cliff Chiang, Cara Delevingne, Kieron Gillen & Sean Phillips, Callie Broaddus, Marguerite Bennett & Maia Kobabe and more.
