About Hero Initiative

All the profits from A Bowl Full Of Happiness will be collected & sent to the Hero Initiative.

The Hero Initiative is a federally recognized not-for-profit organization [501(c)(3)] dedicated to helping comic book creators, writers and artists with health, medical, and quality-of-life assistance. It was founded in late 2000 by a consortium of comic book and trade publishers including Marvel Comics, Image Comics,Dark Horse Comics, Wizard Entertainment, CrossGen Comics and Dynamic Forces Inc. 

Since its inception, The Hero Initiative (Formerly known as A.C.T.O.R., A Commitment To Our Roots) has had the good fortune to grant over $400,000 to the comic book veterans who have paved the way for those in the industry today.

The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strictly to helping comic book creators in need. Hero creates a financial safety net for yesterdays' creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It's a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.
