Hero Initiative, the non-profit organization that helps comic creators in medical and financial need, will be attending San Jose’s BIG WOW! Comic-Fest on May 17-18, 2008 at the San Jose Convention Center, 150 West San Carlos Street, San Jose, California.

Hero will offer copies of their book The Walking Dead 100 Project at their booth, #915-#917.

Additionally, The Walking Dead artist Charlie Adlard will be at the con, as will eight other artists who participated in the project.

Proceeds of your purchase will help someone in need.

And if you’re looking for something in which to carry around your copy of the book, there are new Hero tote bags! Hero’s new totes make their debut at BIG WOW! and are available at a mere $5.

In addition, check out the ambassadors for Hero who will be raising money at their own booths: Arthur Adams, Brent Anderson, Dan Brereton, Joyce Chin, Mick Gray, Drew Johnson, Rich Koslowski, Michael Lark, John Livesay, Laura Martin, Terry Moore, Norm Rapmund, Darick Robertson, Greg Rucka, and David Williams will all have donation jars for Hero.
