Planned Parenthood provides family planning advice as well as essential women's healthcare services across the United States. Despite this however the Trump administration recently took the decision to strip it of all public funding meaning a potentially uncertain future for the organisation and the women who rely upon it’s services as a primary source of heath care.
Popular pop culture website ComicMix.com wants to raise money, awareness and support of Planned Parenthood. It decided to bring together top comic book talent to produce a brand-new comic book collection called Mine! Then use all the proceeds from sales of this collection to support the organisation. Comic Mix is promising that whatever your comic book tastes there will be something in this collection to suit you.
Joining Amber in supporting the project are:
Neil Gaiman
Gabby Rivera
Gerard Way
Yona Harvey
Mara Wilson
Sarah Kuhn
Sina Grace
and many more
In order to make Mine! Comic Mix are currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise $50,000 to cover production costs. This means all profits from sales of Mine! Will go directly to Planned Parenthood. In return for your support they are offering some fantastic rewards including:
- Digital and paperback versions of the complete Mine! collection
- T-shirts
- Access to the Comic Mix digital library
- And much more
The campaign is set to run until Saturday, September 16th, 2017. It is an all or nothing campaign meaning the project can’t be completed unless it reaches its funding goal.

My own personal view is that this is a very worthy cause, good luck to everyone involved. I hope the campaign is a success so fans get the chance to read another excellent comic written by Amber.
