Danny Hellman's lucky number.

Danny Hellman's well-publicized legal battle against the loathsome Ted Rall led to one good thing: His Legal Action Comics anthology series, the second volume of which was published late last year. Comics fans may be interested in an eBay auction currently underway?on the block, the original full-color sketch drawn by Art Spiegelman for the back cover of Legal Action vol. 1. Proceeds will benefit Seattle-based publisher Fantagraphics, known for its support not just of struggling comic artists but for independent publishing in general.

The winning bidder will also receive a signed artist's proof of the 18x24-inch poster version of the illustration, as printed by the Dirty Danny Legal Defense Fund. The auction ends Feb. 27. View item no. 2226553559 at ebay.com.
