Golden Apple Comic & Art Foundation Seeks to Help Save the Comic Book Artform
The impetus of the foundation occurred when a longtime customer sought to donate his extensive collection to his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania. The newly created foundation will now catalog and archived the collection and ensure its safe transportation. “It’s very popular for people to donate to universities, but the problem that the people at universities don’t specialize in comics,” Liebowitz says.
The plan is to continue such work and expand the scope by collaborating with special collection departments at universities to establish exhibits and mobile museums. It will also work to create scholarships and convention programming while promoting the restoration and preservation of comic art.Frank Miller: American GeniusThe Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil: Born AgainThe event will take place March 25 in Arizona and feature a Q&A with Miller and the film’s director, Silenn Thomas.
The event is notable as it is the first time Miller is making any sort of professional appearance in Arizona and for its tie-in to the grand reopening and return of Atomic Comics, a popular shop that folded 10 years ago. Atomic is having a Miller autograph signing on March 26. Liebowitz is on the foundation board with family members Kendra and Sharon Liebowitz, who collectively run the Golden Apple shop, along with filmmaker and comic art form enthusiast Kevin Smith, writer Marc Andreyko, journalist Heidi MacDonald, Atomic Comics owner Mike Malve, and producer Gary Prebula.
