Now, the latest artist to contribute a sketch to Lee's auction is Clay Mann.Mann has drawn a sketch of Karen Starr, aka Power Girl, for the auction, which -- as Lee puts it -- "captures the power, beauty & zaftig allure of 1 of the mightiest heroes of the DCU!" Lee posted the sketch on Twitter, as well as a link to his eBay page, where it's currently going for $1,625.
In the DC Universe, Karen Starr is the alias of Kara Zor-El from Earth-2, one of many parallel Earths in the DC Multiverse. She possesses all of Superman's powers and is a longstanding member of the Justice Society of America.
95 percent of the proceeds from Lee's auctions will go to BINC, which is working to help comic book shops affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. So far, the sketches have helped raise over $600,000.
Other artists that have contributed to Lee's auction include Ivan Reis, Philip Tan, J. Scott Campbell, and Tony S. Daniel.
