Chrissie Zullo's Cover Contest

So, as I type this I feel I really shouldn’t be posting this.  I mean the more I spread the word the less of a chance I have to win.  Oh, but alas, it is the resposibility of the “press” to bring worthwhile information to the masses.  Oh well.

Chrissie is having a super awesome contest over on here blog where she will be giving away “An original 11”x17” drawing of any character, your choice! Plus: Signed copies of Cinderella Issues 1-6 AND a signed Chrissie Zullo sketchbook.”

Joey Weiser Raising Funds for Cavemen in Space

I know a lot of the Dollar Bin listeners (though limited in funds) love collecting comic pages and original art.  And, like me, I know you like supporting the industries strengths.  One of those strengths is Joey Weiser.  I’ve been reading his comics and other such things he’s worked on for years and he never fails to entertain or impress.  Everything Joey Weiser touches is creative gold.  That being said, Joey has put together a lucretive (for all parties) fundraiser to help get his latest book, Cavemen in Space, off the ground.  He’s not asking for a lot and he is offering so much in return. Help Support Cavemen in Space!

Batmobile Charity Auction

If you are like me, you’ve always wanted to be Batman or at least be able to have people believe you might be in the same universe of cool he usually inhabits. Well if you’ve got some spare cash lying around, you can take a giant step towards being the closest thing your neighborhood is likely to get towards having its very own caped crusader.

The folks over at Charity Buzz are auctioning off a replica version of the ride Adam West and Burt Ward made famous in the old-school classic live action Batman television show. Not only that, the proceeds go to charity in the form of a donation to Life Project For Africa, so you’re first act in trying to be Batman might actually help save someone’s day.

The bidding has 23 days left so there is still time to get your finances (and Batcave) in order. Anybody want to loan me $40,000?

Batman: The Brave & The Bold & The Musical!

The Caped Crusader faces a new villain in the upcoming Batman: The Brave And The Bold episode, Mayhem of the Music Meister. Although many regulars from the show sing in the episode, it features the voices of Grey DeLisle as Black Canary and Neil Patrick Harris as the Music Meister, a menacing villain who is able to exert powerful mind-control through song. The sneak preview at Comic-Con this past July got a huge response and now after much anticipation, the episode will finally air Friday, October 23 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on Cartoon Network.

As an awesome follow up, on Saturday, October 24, New Line Records will release Batman: The Brave & The Bold: Mayhem of the Music Meister soundtrack digitally on iTunes and other digital music outlets. Amazon.com will offer fans the exclusive option of purchasing either a hard or digital copy of the soundtrack. The soundtrack will feature all five original songs from the episode as well as the highly sought Batman: The Brave And The Bold theme.
