Artist Neal Adams and author Clifford Meth will be co-hosting The Dave Cockrum Benefit Art Exhibition to benefit Dave and Paty Cockrum. Visitors will see all of the original artwork from Aardwolf Publishing’s forthcoming Uncanny Dave Cockrum Tribute. All of the artwork will then be auctioned off by Heritage Auctions at WizardWorld in Chicago.
Artists participating in the exhibit, benefit book, and auction include Will Eisner, Joe Kubert, Gene Colan, Sergio Aragones, Marie Severin, Joe Quesada, Jim Lee, Kia Asamiya, Gabriele Dell'Otto, John Romita Sr., Alan Davis, Dave Gibbons, Travis Charest, Walt Simonson, John Cassaday, Dave Sim, Frank Brunner, and Michael Kaluta, among others.
Legendary artist Cockrum co-created such stalwarts of the X-Men comic book series as Storm (played by Halle Berry in the X-Men films), Nightcrawler, Mystique, Colossus, and the Starjammers. His family recently suffered undue economic hardship resulting from a severe illness from which Cockrum is now recovering.
