Veteran comic book artist and all-around good guy, Tony DeZuniga, is having health issues that's creating financial issues.

Tony was a mainstay of both DC and Marvel in the 1970s, and there was an elegance to his work, even handling a violent Jonah Hex story. (He co-created Hex with writer John Albano.)

Author Scott Edelman has more details about what's going on and, more importantly, how you can help.

He also has a note from creator Neal Adams about how important Tony's arrival in U.S. comics was so important in the 1970s.

If you can help, this is a very worthwhile cause.
