Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award
2025 Clampett Humanitarian Award Goes to
“L.A. Strong” Fundraiser
Comic-Con is proud to announce that the recipient for the 2025 Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award is L.A. Strong Charity Comic, a fundraiser to aid those in the comics industry affected by the L.A. wildfires, organized by Mad Cave Studios.
“The comic book industry pulled together to support fellow creators who lost homes to the tragic 2025 Los Angeles fires with this benefit anthology special. Featuring contributions from Barbara Kesel, Brian Azzarello, Brian Michael Bendis, Christos Gage, Dan DiDio, Daniel Kibblesmith, Frank Tieri, Greg Pak, Jimmy Palmiotti, Jody Houser, Marv Wolfman, Paul Cornell, Rob DenBleyker, Sina Grace, Stephanie Phillips, Steve Orlando, Alex Cormack, Alison Sampson, Amanda Conner, Christian Ward, Geraldo Borges, Ian Churchill, Michael Avon Oeming, Nico Leon, Rian Gonzales, Salvador Larroca, Sami Kivelä, and many, many more. Together, as a community, we stood L.A. strong for one another.”
The launch event for the comic, held in March at the Revenge Of store, included a charity auction. Retailers including Cosmic Monkey Comics, East Side Mags, Skylight Books, Vroman’s Bookstore, Book Soup, Collector’s Paradise, and Golden Apple Comics generously donated original art, signed items, and collectibles to support the fundraiser.
The L.A. Strong charity comic has raised over $25,000 to date, with proceeds going directly to comic book creators who lost homes in the L.A. wildfires.
Comic-Con’s Humanitarian Award is presented in the name of famed animator Bob Clampett, who created the TV series Beany and Cecil, designed such popular characters as Porky Pig and Tweety Bird, and directed 84 classic Warner Bros. cartoons. Clampett was a regular guest at Comic-Con in the 1970s and early 1980s. After his death in 1984, the award was created to honor those people in comics and the popular arts who have worked to help others. The recipients are chosen by the Comic-Con committee.
The award will be presented by Ruth Clampett (Bob’s daughter) during the Eisner Awards ceremony on Friday, July 25 at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel.
