Lisa, of Neptune Comics (where I get my comics), and I had a phone convo today about her new group P.O.W.E.R. and how we can get the word out. The purpose of the organization is Promoting Ownership, Writing & drawing, Editing and Reading by more women and minorities in the comic book industry… so it’s a good cause.

Basically POWER is putting out feelers and trying to come up with a positive pro-active campaign… whether it be some sort of book drive or a letter writer session.

Now that we have a good start at growing our network, it’s time to take some action. In order to get ourselves noticed we need to do more than just join an on-line network — otherwise we’re not much different than MySpace. This is a call for action! I’m looking for ideas that will grab attention and show the comic book industry that we’re serious. Maybe a letter writing campaign where everyone sends in the letter along with a bra, or an offensive comic book cover that publisher released. Maybe a HUGE book drive that we all work on together and send the books to an inner city library somewhere. What do you think? Any ideas/suggestions? It’s time to act!

So if you have any good ideas or want to sign up for P.O.W.E.R. check it out here.
