Freelancing is a tough business and the safety nets aren't always there to help someone in trouble.

Veteran comic book colorist Tom Ziuko could use a helping hand. Daniel Best at 20th Century Danny Boy has all the details that he got from Alan Kupperberg.

If there's any way you can lend a hand - and I know the economy is tight for all - please consider.

Ziuko is one of the industry's premiere colorists with a body of work that stretches over 3 decades - lots of it at DC Comics.

Go read Best's post and see if there's anything you can do.
