To mike mantlo, its great you are helping support him and keep the fund going so he gets the care he needs. The man is an Icon and deserves the best we can give him. I for one will be donating.

I am currently employed at a long term care facility myself, and it is indeed a depressing environment at times. I can only pray that Mr. Mantlo is surrounded by caregivers who actually ''care'' enough to make his life as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Bill, for sharing your great talent with us. God bless u... I am deeply saddened to see Bill Mantlo in such a condition…I enjoyed his work for many years.

Your compassion towards other human beings less fortunate than yourself is the perfect example of how Bill lived his life, and he would be honored to call you "friend"! Writer Greg Pak dedicated his final issue of "The Incredible Hulk" (# 635) to Bill, and set up a link to the Bill Mantlo Support Fund that I run. This fund allows me to provide Bill with anything that might bring him some happiness, and improve his quality of life (even if it's in just a small way, or for only a little while). The link can be found by clicking here: http://gregpak.com/mantlo.html Donations are always welcome, and no amount goes unappreciated! I personally thank ALL contributors, and to all who have donated in the past, THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN! Gerry, I wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving, and wish you all the best that life has to offer during this Holiday Season!

(It's too bad the rights for those make TPB collections unlikely. It would be wonderful if whoever has the rights would allow collections with a portion of the proceeds going to help pay for Bill's medical expenses.) I've sent a card to him before, but this reminds me I should do so again. And it makes me glad to know he still smiles.
