2,000 hours of video calls and 22,000 emails—this is what it took for writer and producer Paul Goodenough to bring Rewriting Extinction, a collaborative charity project that has the support of some of the most well-known stars and comic artists on Earth, into existence. The project encompasses 15 charities and over 300 people from around the globe, united in their pursuit of a single goal: coming together to try and reverse species extinction through the power of storytelling.
The 12-month campaign is focused on publishing engaging comics that spread awareness about the life-threatening issues animals face all around the world. Beloved celebrities like Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Patrick Stewart, Taika Waititi, Ricky Gervais, and Cara Delevingne have teamed up to lend their creativity and support. Alongside them stand some of the biggest names in contemporary comic storytelling, including the legendary Jenny Jinya, Elizabeth Pich and Jonathan Kunz of War and Peas, Chow Hon Lam of Buddy Gator, Nicholas Gurewitch of The Perry Bible Fellowship, and others.
