Comic #1:TRASH 3:11





We'll deal with the first comic that I made. TRASH 3:11 is an original idea that I created first dealing mainly on the Homeless; I tend to lean towards that area, which I know in other comics books you don't have Homeless people raising an half-alien half human child with powers. Only in Superman you see regular people who happen to be common folk who happen to work and have a normal lifestyle raising this child unlike any human child.

What I wanted to do here with TRASH 3:11 is bring the not so normal than the quite normal out in the forefront. Ricky and I, we love this book. You know we sent it to Zuda Comics who are affiliated with DC Comics and they turned us down, they said quote on quote "Someone has already come up with the idea and the writing wasn't suitable". And my question is "Who?" Has someone stolen my idea to make it there own? And secondly about the writing I'm sorry to burst a bubble here, but it's the writing that's brought this comic book to life. It was my script where you see these characters displayed on the paper along with Ricky's wonderful artwork. To me, in my opinion, I think we would have won by a landslide because the comics they had up, just a couple caught my eye, but the rest didn't do anything. They weren't comic book worthy so to speak. So here are a few pages from the comic book. Tell me how you like it. They're without the words. In time I will post pages with but now I'll just leave it like is. So leave comments please.

Comic Book #3


Artist: Jennifer
Cover Artist: Cakka Dhama
Writer: Lavel Wideman



This is my third comic book, Jullanja@zombieapocalypse.com. Okay, I think you noticed the cover artist's name. Trust me, when I first worked with him, he told me to call him Cak-ka. I asked him are you sure you want me to call you that and pleasingly he said "yes." I'm not going to put anyone down because they're proud of their name, alright? Just like if a guy was given a girl's name or vice versa, it's what you're parents named you, okay. Not your fault.
I came up with the idea of Jullanja, where a homeless woman fights for survival among the living dead. I'm a zombie fan, I must admit. The concepts of my books must have homeless situations in them, they can't be of the norm. They must involve the forgotten as much as possible. When looking for a name for my character I read a book about screenplays, and there I saw the name Jullanja. I fell in love with the character as well as the name. The author described her being a Black Carribean with half blue, and half black eyes, of mixed heritage. I said, "I got to have that." So I contacted the author personally through e-mail. Got his permission to use the name; he gave me the okay. If you happen to look, my Homeless Drifter, if you look carefully in the drawings, you can see, he also has different tones of color in his eyes, even though, one is a cataract, the other normal.
Jullanja, is in the process of being made over, including cover. The artist and I never got along. Jennifer is an excellent artist by the way, she just asked for more than I could afford giving her. I was going by the budget, Jennifer wasn't. We went our seperate ways, with a few choice words, and that was that. For Jullanja, I want a more Marvel comic book feel to this edition. The eight pages are very much Marvel, it's just that, the artist and I aren't working together. So I'm in the task to looking for another artist for this issue as well. Anyone interested? Contact me or leave a comment.
