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.
