"Like everyone, I have been sickened by the atrocities perpetrated on the Ukrainian people for nearly two months," states Dunbier in the announcement. "I had to do something, anything, to try and help. The comic-book community is full of good and caring people who have stepped up to say, 'I stand with Ukraine,' and to contribute to this book."
Ukraine has been under invasion from Russia since February 24, with international attention and aid turning toward the war-torn nation for nearly two months. Operation USA (OpUSA), which has raised over $450 million for international causes since 1979, aims to raise private funds through the anthology.
At the time of this writing, the campaign has raised $364 of its $35,000 goal with 30 days left to go.
