Iconic comic book creators and founders of the multimedia entertainment company Paperfilms, Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner, have launched a huge graphic novel sale to help with their hurricane recovery efforts. Palmiotti and Conner’s Paperfilms office was hit by October’s devasting Hurricane Milton.

Palmiotti took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to announce the unprecedented comic book sale. “The Paperfilms office got hit badly by Hurricane Milton. We had to trash over 20k worth of books & put a new floor, and remove some of the wall space in the office. We are running a sale to help with expenses. Up to 70% off retail,” he wrote. On sale are popular comic book titles, such as signed and unsigned versions of The Big Con Job trade paperback and the Paperfilms exclusive platinum edition of Random Acts of Violence. Others are hardcover editions of Retrovirus, The Monolith, and Queen Crab, as well as trade paperback editions of The Pro and Gate Crashers: Rings of Fire.

Hurricane Milton, the strongest tropical cyclone worldwide this year and the second-most intense ever recorded over the Gulf of Mexico, made landfall in Florida, spawning a deadly tornado outbreak and causing widespread flooding. By the end of October, Milton had killed almost three dozen people. Estimated damages wrought by the hurricane place the total cost of destruction at $85 billion.

The frequent collaborators and spouses, Palmiotti and Conner, are icons of the comic book industry, and both worked extensively for Marvel and DC Comics. The pair notably worked together on DC’s 2013 relaunch of the Harley Quinn series, a top seller for the publisher that helped revitalize the character.

Palmiotti is also known for writing Marvel’s Deadpool, The Punisher, and Heroes for Hire, as well as Hawkman, Superboy, and his creation The Monolith for DC. Palmiotti was also responsible for creating Luke Fox/Batwing for his and Justin Gray’s eponymous DC series, and alongside Conner, and The Boys‘ creator Garth Ennis, created The Pro. Palmiotti and Joe Quesada created Ash and Painkiller Jane.

The acclaimed artist Conner has drawn Lois Lane, Codename: Knockout, Birds of Prey, Power Girl, and Wonder Woman for DC and X-Men Unlimited for Marvel. Conner provided the design concepts for the fan-favorite DC Universe streaming Harley Quinn animated series and her work also influenced the Birds of Prey and Suicide Squad live-action films.
