Iconic comic book creators and founders of the multimedia entertainment company Paperfilms, Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner, have launched a huge graphic novel sale to help with their hurricane recovery efforts. Palmiotti and Conner's Paperfilms office was hit by October's devasting Hurricane Milton.
Palmiotti took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to announce the unprecedented comic book sale. "The Paperfilms office got hit badly by Hurricane Milton. We had to trash over 20k worth of books & put a new floor, and remove some of the wall space in the office. We are running a sale to help with expenses. Up to 70% off retail," he wrote. On sale are popular comic book titles, such as signed and unsigned versions of The Big Con Job trade paperback and the Paperfilms exclusive platinum edition of Random Acts of Violence. Others are hardcover editions of Retrovirus, The Monolith, and Queen Crab, as well as trade paperback editions of The Pro and Gate Crashers: Rings of Fire.
