Hi guys!
I have a piece of artwork that's being auctioned by the fine folks at the Hero initiative who get 100% of the proceeds.
The Hero Initiative creates a financial safety net for comic creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. Since inception, the Hero Initiative has been fortunate enough to benefit over 40 creators and their families with over $400,000 worth of much-needed aid, fueled by your contributions! It's a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.
Make with the clicky clik here JAMAL IGLE Firestorm #15 2-page spread, pp. 2-3 - 290527037472 and let's give back to those who've given us so much.

Top 5 ACTIVE artists that inspire you?
Stuart Immomen, Alan Davis, Gary Frank, Ivan Reis and Olivier Coipel
Would be a great choice to star in a Supergirl movie?
Ooh, good question. A few years ago i would have gone with Elisha Cuthbert. I would want her to be young or young looking so maybe Britt Robertson from "Life Unexpected."
How much does format and dimension matter to you as a reader? If a comic is a square format (or anything other then traditional) does that actually effect your reading experience? Enhance it? No big deal? VIva diversity?
Not really, the only thing that takes me out of the experience is bad panel flow, or a disregard for new readers visually.
The cover you drew for Supergirl 36 in 2009 is beautiful and intriguing. It makes her look like a 13 year old. It speaks of an innocence I've only seen with Mary Marvel. I'd love to see more of it. Any chance the character or art will linger on that?
I didn't draw that cover, that was the incredibly talented josh Middleton. It is pretty cool though.

Have you ever met a rookie artist at a convention, and found their work so pro level to the point, you helped or tried to get them noticed by your present publisher?
Yes. Chris Dibari who is now working for Top Cow, Steve Walker the artist on the graphic novel series "Sons of Liberty" for Random House. I've come across more than a few people that i've recommended for work.
What was your favorite moment to draw during your Supergirl run?
one of my faorite images to draw was this one http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/110/e/5/supergirl_50_page_6_by_JamalIgle1.jpg
Is there any particular writer you've been dying to work with?
More than one, Geoff Johns, Jason Aaron, Ed Brubaker, Matt Sturges, Matt Fraction, Gail Simone, Paul Storrie, Paul Jenkins, Kurt Busiek, Paul Tobin. it's a long list and it gets longer. I'm greedy, I want to work with all of the good writers. I've been lucky and have worked with mostly A- list writers my entire career.
