Lea Hernandez lost her home, pets and most of her art to a fire in September. Fortunately her family was physically spared, and their home was insured, but Lea makes her living with her art. The fire left the family with medical bills for the emotional fallout (which has been very difficult for Lea and her daughter in particular).

Lea is a very talented comic creator, and some of her friends are auctioning some treasures on Ebay to help defray her expenses. If you’re a Star Wars fan, you might want to have a look at the double-sided theater teaser poster from Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, signed by Samuel L. Jackson up for auction now.

All proceeds are being donated to help Lea get back on her feet. Her home is nearly rebuilt, but much of her art is gone forever, and she will be at the process of rebuilding her life for a long, long time to come. If you are a collector or just want to help Lea, consider bidding on some of the one of a kind items there.
