Norm Breyfogle is an award winning comic book artist who needs your help.

The Whisper Campaign is here to help Norm Breyfogle recover from his stroke, and we need your help to do it.  By helping this campaign, you get a trade paperback featuring Norm's never-before-reprinted Whisper stories along with many additional comic stories from Norm Breyfogle and his award winning supporters in the comics industry!

On December 17, artist Norm Breyfogle was hospitalized due to a stroke. For many Batman fans, Norm Breyfogle stands out as one of the top artists from the late 20th Century as the penciller for Detective Comics from 1987 until 1993, as well as working on the Batman series from 1990 to 1992. Norm Breyfogle has most recently been seen illustrating Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger and Batman Beyond, and the award-nominated Life With Archie.

Norm Breyfogle has suffered paralysis on his left side, and he draws with his left hand. He now needs months of extended care with daily therapy that will hopefully enable him to once again continue his skillful art and regain his mobility to be able to walk, draw and hopefully work again.

Like many comic book artists before him, Norm Breyfogle is experiencing the brutal reality where freelance artists with marginal or no insurance can find themselves crushed under hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical bills from career-altering illness or injury. Even in the Affordable Care Act era, health-care security eludes many artists, including ones with histories as extensive and reputable as Norm Breyfogle. He needs help. You can help save him and get cool art for doing so.

 Whisper- 280-page trade paperback containing Whisper #3-11 
Written and created by Steven Grant (Punisher, 2Guns) and published by First Comics in 1986. The series has never been reprinted before, this will become a collectors dream and a great chance to see Norm Breyfogle early work. Steven has given us permission to reprint Norm Breyfogle issues of Whisper to raise funds for his recuperation.
