BREAKING: All 49 Senate Democrats are now opposed to the Thomas Farr nomination. With Senator Flake opposed, we need one more Republican to defeat this nominee.

RT to urge Republicans to vote NO to defeat this anti-voting rights nominee.

As seen on [community profile] scans_daily, 24 Panels | An anthology comic to aid PTSD needs of survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire. Click there to see one page from Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's contribution. The book is curated by Kieron Gillan. More previews.

From the website:

In June 2017, the Grenfell fire killed 72 people in a 24-story tower block in West London.
24 PANELS is an anthology comic to support the PTSD needs of the survivors. The 24 PANELS Anthology will be comprised of 24 stories, each no longer than 24 panels. Half drawn from professional creators who volunteered their time and half drawn from open submissions, 24 PANELS is about community, hope, and (most of all) raising as much money as possible. We’ll be working with the Trauma Response Network to highlight where that money can make a difference.


Guardian article

24 PANELS (Diamond Code SEP180079, ISBN: 978-1-5343-1126-8) will be available in comic book stores on Wednesday, November 21st.
It will be available in bookstores on Tuesday, November 27th and can be pre-ordered at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indiebound, and Indigo.
