28 Days of Geek Giving: Skull the Troll: Around the World 2010 Calendar

Here’s a great gift that goes to a good cause.  Scott Kurtz has announced a 2010 wall calendar that features the plush version of his Skull the Troll at various locations around the world.

Over the last three years Gary Arndt has been traveling with Skull the Troll to over 60 countries around the world. It has been an adventure of a lifetime, and Skull has been with Gary every step of the way.

While this is a really nice calendar for fans of the web comic series, the $19.95 purchase actually goes to a good cause.  100% of the proceeds on the sale of the calendar go to support the American Assistance for Cambodia program, that will build a school, provide drinking water, and medical treatment for children in Cambodia.  It’s a great way of helping those who don’t have a lot.

Taking place during Batman’s early days of crime fighting, this collection tells the story of a mysterious killer who murders his prey only on holidays. Working with District Attorney Harvey Dent and Lieutenant James Gordon, Batman races against the calendar as he tries to discover who Holiday is before he claims his next victim each month. A mystery that has the reader continually guessing the identity of the killer, this story also ties into the events that transform Harvey Dent into Batman’s deadly enemy, Two-Face.
