Art by Doctor Who storyboard artist Mike Collins.
I've just been informed of this superb auction for a worthy cause. The People First Merseyside Charity Auction has 30 pieces of original comic art from some of the top names in comics to raise money for people with learning difficulties.

People First Merseyside is an organisation for people with learning disabilities, managed by people with learning disabilities. They are a registered charity and a limited company.


People First has supported adults in Merseyside for more than 20 years. People First Merseyside started in 1988 and their members come from Liverpool and Sefton.
