We talked about the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer on the last episode of The Comic Conspiracy, and it was brought up that Greg Pak was asking people to help support Bill Mantlo the creator of the in-famous Rocket Raccoon. You can read Greg's post about Bill and find the link to donate here.
A quick summary is as follows: Bill was severely injured on July 17, 1992 when he was struck by a car while rollerblading. Since this near fatal accident Bill has had to have full-time healthcare, and has become a shinning example of how screwed up things are in our healthcare system.
I urge you to do what you can to help make Bill's life a little better. The guy gave us a space raccoon that screams, "Blam! Murdered You!"
Cards, letters or donations to Bill Mantlo can be sent to:
Mike Mantlo
26364 East Pintail Road
Long Neck, DE 19966
Please make out any checks to “Michael Mantlo” — Bill’s legal guardian.
