PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

THROUGH THE ASHES BENEFIT COMIC BOOK

Includes free full color painted Poster.

A spcial issue of a comic book saluting the HEROES of September 11th! The story of New York's finest heroes begins in this issue.
Written and drawn by Bill Tucci. Tucci's most important work to date is Through the Ashes, a 32 page comic honoring the heroes and victims of 9/11.

Ashes focused on the heartfelt recollections of firefighters, police, and ironworkers present on September 11th and in the months that followed. Dedications and memorials to FDNY Lieutenants John Crisci, John Napolitano and Petty Officer Michael Noeth, a Naval illustrator and classmate of Tucci's who was killed in the attack on the Pentagon were prominent.

A self contained Shi story written and illustrated by Tucci was also be included, depicting Ana Ishikawa (Shi) as witness to the terrible attacks on the World Trade Center. An insert color poster, Perseverance, by acclaimed illustrator Barry Orkin and Brenner Printing was also generously donated to the project.

Perseverance was showcased along side Billy's Ashes cover at New York City's Society of Illustrators 9/11 Benefit Exhibit.
Profits from Ashes benefit the Uniformed Firefighters Association Widows' and Children's Fund.

This comic book was never available to the mass market and was only sold in comic book specialty shops.
