Neil Gaiman is auctioning off the naming rights for a ship in his upcoming novel, Anansi Boys, proceeds to go to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
Be immortalized in Neil Gaiman’s upcoming novel Anansi Boys by placing the winning bid on this CBLDF benefit auction. The winner of this auction will have their name or a name of their choosing given to a cruise ship in the book, and will receive a signed, first edition of Anansi Boys when it is published this Fall.
Neil Gaiman writes: “I’ve got to name a currently unnamed cruise ship in Anansi Boys. I have no idea what to call it, and, a couple of days ago, realised that my utter lack of inspiration could do good things for the CBLDF. If you wish, you can bid to have the ship named after you, your loved one, your dog, or even your favourite word.”
All proceeds from this auction will benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that specializes in the defense of First Amendment related cases on behalf of comics authors and retailers.
I wish I had the money that I’m sure this will go for. It’s already over $3100. Good cause, and serious geeky props to be had.
Hmmm. Our anniversary is coming up …
