Jae Lee is known for his dark, moody, and highly stylized art and this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to add a rare piece of Lee’s art to your collection. As Jae prepares to unveil Stephen King’s "Gunslinger" from Marvel's Dark Tower next year, his art will only increase in demand! The piece measures 11" x 17" and has never been seen anywhere.

Jae Lee Stated "This is one of the first Batman pieces I drew, to "warm up" and get ready for Batman: Jekyll and Hyde. While reviewing my art to pick a piece to donate, I decided that this piece, though personal and a piece that I wanted to keep, would be better served helping Pam and her rescue organization. For any fans who are animal lovers, please bid as much as you can. If you can't afford to bid, please donate to: http://www.savedwhiskersrescue.com/donations.html or send a donation via paypal at: paypal@savedwhiskersrescue.com- It's a great cause!"

All Proceeds for the auction will be donated to the Saved Whiskers Rescue Organization, Inc. -- a non-profit 501(c) 3 cat & kitten rescue that is dedicated to saving the lives of countless felines.

"I'm so grateful to Jae for his generous contribution. Saved Whiskers Rescue is a truly worthy cause. Jae Lee's donation of the artwork is incredible! The funds from this auction will help us provide veterinary care and shelter for a few of the many stray cats and kittens that we come across, explained Pam Ott, President & Founder of Saved Whiskers Rescue.
