Brent Anderson Stolen Art Update
October 20, 2011

To Whom It May Concern,

I need my friends’ help. My car was broken into at the San Diego
Zoo on Monday July 25th, 2011. Approximately 200 pages of my original comic book
art was stolen (pages from "Astro City" (Volumes 1 & 2), “Astro City:Local Heroes,” "Astro City:The Dark Age" Book 1 (#s 1-4), Book 2 (#s 1-4) & Book 3 (#s 1-4) And "Rising Stars" #s 15-24.)

The art was in three black 24-page 14”x17” Itoya display portfolios (called
Art Profolios) labeled “Astro City”, “Astro City: The Dark Age”, and “Rising
Stars,” and one black Filexec display book labeled “Green Lantern: Legacy,”
all in mylar sleeves. Each book holds 48 art pages. The stolen portfolios
can be identified by title and hand-written labels along the outside spine.
All four of the portfolios were in a black soft cloth slipcover carrying
case, zippered along the side about three inches from the top. Each page is
labeled at the top with my name, the book’s title, issue # and page number
and a pricing sticker.
Note: On earlier pages, the top line info is not as clearly marked as in more recent pages. A number of them are marked in light faded pencil.
A $500.00 reward has been offered for the safe return of the artwork no questions asked.
