For Comic Retailers & Employees
The Comicbook United Fund grew out of the Forge Fund, which was a dedicated fund at Binc started by Oni-Lion Forge Publishing Group for comic retailers. The Comicbook United Fund is operated by Binc and supported by Oni-Lion Forge, Polarity, DC, Jim Lee, Creators4Comics, and many others from across the industry.
“Little did we know when we launched the Forge Fund that the world would be plunged into such a dreadful pandemic, but here we are, and happy there was a starting point for relief,” said Oni-Lion Forge Publishing Group Chairman David Steward II. “Binc and DC are powerful allies who we admire, commend and feel bonded to through this effort. This is an epic team-up in the grand comic book tradition and we look forward to welcoming more publishers to this effort.”
