2012 is a big year if you're a Comic-Con of the Emerald City variety. You've hit the big 1-0! That deserves a special celebration of sorts, with the show's Monsters & Dames art book being supersized to 80 pages of original illustrations. Oh, and there's a cover by Adi Granov.

"We've created not only a unique collectible that spotlights our show's amazing and diverse roster of artists, animators and illustrators, said ECCC Convention Director Jim Demonakos, but also something that allows us to give back to our local community by raising thousands of dollars each year for Seattle Children's Hospital. It's pretty special.

Since 2009, Monsters & Dames art books and auctions have raised well over $20,000.00 for Seattle Children's Hospital, a premier child health care & pediatric center, recognized as one of the leading hospitals for children in the nation. The art book has sold out each year at the convention.

The full-color, 9x12" book will be limited to 1,150 individually numbered copies. The 2012 edition features contributions from the likes of Bill Sienkiewicz, Camilla D'Erricco, Louie Del Carmen, Kevin Nowlan, Tony Moore, Bruce Timm, Katie Cook, Francis Manapul & Agnes Garbowska, Mikeatron!, Scott Morse, Phil Noto, Mike Allred, Paul Guinan, Brandon Graham, Daniel Davis, Lar DeSouza, Marcus To, David Petersen, Moritat, Tony Parker, Dustin Nguyen, Jeremy Haun, Nat Jones and more!
