Then later in December Marvel will release "Moment of Silence," a wordless comic based on actual stories from the disaster. DC, Darkhorse, Image and Oni will collaborate on a benefit book titled "September 11," due in January. Non-mainstream comix creators, alienated by the loss of SPX, spent that weekend putting together their own benefit comic with the help of publisher Alternative...
