Dave Lizewski may not be a household name just yet, but having the main character in Mark Millar’s smash hit “Kick-Ass” named in your honor is pretty sweet nonetheless. Especially, when you consider that the ICON series, co-created with superstar artist John Romita Jr., is now being made into a $65-million movie starring Nicolas Cage and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, better known as McLovin’.

Comics fan Dave Lizewski earned the naming rights in “Kick-Ass” after winning a charity auction in 2006, and now writer Millar is offering up the same opportunity with his latest creator-owned Image Comics series “War Heroes,” in support of the star-studded, comic industry-fueled online auction to fund the restoration of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel’s boyhood home in Cleveland, Ohio.

New York Times bestselling novelist and former “Justice League of America” writer Brad Meltzer is coordinating the comics creator items for the auction, and is thrilled to have Millar onboard.“In the ‘Kick-Ass’ charity auction, comic-fan Dave Lizewski paid a four-figure sum to have the lead character named after him. ‘Kick-Ass’ is now the biggest-selling creator-owned book on the market,” Meltzer told CBR News. “Mark is now auctioning off a chance to be a character in an upcoming issue of ‘War Heroes.’ This is your chance to be the next John McClane, Harry Callaghan or Peter Parker. Bid now and be the envy of your friends forever.”

A number of studios are already in discussions with Millar and his collaborator Tony Harris to bring “War Heroes” to the big screen.

Meltzer said with one week remaining, the auction already raised more than $70,000. “In every city I’ve been to, people are throwing in a few bucks, completely unprompted,” explained Meltzer. “This is the week that will decide the extent of the work we do on the house. So even if you don’t bid on the walk-on part in ‘Heroes,’ thanks to all who buy a shirt or donate even ten bucks to the cause. It all matters.”

Beyond the Millar ‘naming’ item, Meltzer has added even more items for comic fans again this week. The first came from one of you — a CBR reader.

Original George Perez Artwork — Captain America vs. Batman

Donated by Doug Welch
