Comic Book # 2

THE HOMELESS VET
ARTIST: JACOB GIADONO
WRITER: LAVEL WIDEMAN

The Homeless Vet, I came up with this idea when I passed a street and there on a busy sidewalk I saw a guy with no legs; he was unkempt in appearance. He and his wife; obviously he was a homeless man holding up a sign saying "Please help this Homeless Vet and his wife." Right there you have someone who could not support himself but he asked people if they could spare a dime, to help his wife out. I thought that was very profound.The state which I live, there are many Homeless Vets, out on the streets begging for money, any loose change would do, and you wonder where has everything gone wrong? Where men and women who fought for their country, proudly, are now sticking out dirty hands for relief ,however, in turn the country (the government) has their backs turned to helping them.
Although my comic book deals with the Vietnam War and Veterans, which I really don't want to bring up old wounds or step on any toes. The comic book is basically about a Veteran, his dog tag was stolen by a young boy, who happens to be from a tribe in Vietnam, who deals in black magic. This particular Vet isn't a good guy: he did a little mischief in Vietnam that caught some townspeoples attention, especially from this tribe and they are out to getting him, and so they did. Cursed, he is brought back from the dead to live through a souveigner collector of all things, a war buff, and this war buff must now tell his story for a certain peace to reside in Vietnam, but only when he goes through certain things, especially 'homelessness' before the truth is revealed. It has supernatural elements; the first issue is only eight pages long. Jacob said he's working on another project and won't be able to put full focus on the second issue. So I'm looking for another artist to work with me on the second book. Hopefully, book two will be out this year or next.

Step One:

TRASH 3:11



ARTIST: RICKY SWAIN

WRTITER: LAVEL WIDEMAN


#1: TRASH 3:11 is my first comic book for BOOT PRODUCTIONS. It's about an half-alien, half-human,and as a baby, he was found in a dumpster by two homeless people, who raises him and from that he becomes a superhero for the poor. TRASH 3:11 is really different in aspect to other comic books. Everyone knows who Superman is, and Spiderman, and the Incredible Hulk, I grew up with a comic book lover home, my dad. His favorite were Conan the Barbarian and Red Sonja, the X-men, Iron Man, and the list goes on.


Most my of my comic books deal with the homeless. All my work sort of caters around that theme, that setting, the alley, the downtrodden and I mixed them up to what I want my comic books to display, so most of my comic books are based on the 'homeless issue.' That's key here at BOOT PRODUCTIONS. We aim to please, especially rooting for those who aren't noticed.













IN THE BEGINNING

Hi, my name is Lavel Wideman; I like to invite you to what it seems to be the making of my small comic book company called Bound To Happen Comics. Here, I will display some work from individual comic books like: Trash 3:11, Jullanja at zombieapocalypse, and The Homeless Vet with other comic books along the way.

My artist and I want to see these comic books up and out to the public soon as possible but to be honest, I have to tell you, I'm really lazy now in that department since the last altercation I had with a homeless visitor; just going out to conventions, and looking around for a publisher or to find someone who will sponsor my poor seedling of a company. I don't know how to go about doing that to tell you the truth. And I can also say there's a little fear there. If anyone is out there who has any suggestions at all I'm all open for advice, so please leave comments and good how-to's. I will be so grateful for the help. A comic book fan for quite a long time so you know.

Along with that I hired some really good talented artist to draw these books, and of course, I'm the writer/owner. One artist in particular is my long awaited friend Ricky Swain; he's the artist for Trash 3:11; in a bit I will show you some of his work and show his talents, which is not to be played with, I kid you not. My entire artists are really cool people. From here I like to take you step by step of what we're trying to do for my comic book company Bound To Happen Comics. I just hope you'll have a blast at this site. Welcome everyone!
