"For 148 days, WGA writers have been pencils down/picket signs up. But I'm stoked to pick up the pen again as a part of GENERAL STRIKE. Black Mask is serving up allyship with this comic anthology benefitting Hollywood's not-for-profit lifesaver – the Entertainment Community Fund," said Judalina Neira, Writer/Executive Producer .
"This strike isn't just about writers in Hollywood, it's about the exploitation of labor. As a proud member of the WGA and a recipient of Strike Fund assistance, I jumped at the chance to participate in this anthology," said Tamara Becher .
