A V for Vendetta page is now listed at ComicConnect for a charity auction.
A cancer researcher living in the U.S. wanted to give something back to his old high school in the northeast of England, where many of the kids come from blue collar families and often lack the finances or the encouragement to move into higher education.
So, in collaboration with Newcastle University, he donated money and set up a charitable bursary. Children from that high school and then from the rest of north east England are eligible.
Right now, the award has enough money in it to pay out £500 per year to one student (approximately £13,000). The purpose of selling this V for Vendetta page is to raise more money to put into the bursary so that each student will be given £500 when they first enter Newcastle University and when they start their second year as well.
“This is a charity auction of a fantastic and classic piece of modern comics history,” Vincent Zurzolo, co-founder of ComicConnect, said. “Bid big knowing that your winning bid will go to help students in need!
Interested collectors can view and bid on the V for Vendetta Charity Auction on ComicConnect’s website. The auction ends December 4, 2017.
