Comics are a means of therapy, one can imagine to do whatever he
or she wants to do, the focus is shifted and we no longer are told what we
cannot do. We begin to see that we can do anything, as long as we put our mind
to it. This is something that continues to get me through dark times, and
people believe in me in that I want to share what I have learned to all comic
lovers, even the blind.
A few years ago, a former Lifeworks employee helped me record my
original disabled super human trilogy, so I can offer an audio version to the
blind. Another former employee helped me find a company who would offer my
audio files, and I called Learning Alley, formerly Recording For the Blind And
Dyslexic, RFB&D, to see if people actually do comic book recordings.
The answer was some, just like plenty of the vivid detail left out from the
comic book and the actual comic book script.
My education about comic book script writing has expanded since
furthering my education at Little Fish Comic Book Studio in Ocean Beach. Recently,
my educator, Alonso Nunez, had a meeting with KPBS, and he exclaimed that a
woman asked him if there are comics for the blind. My scripts are available for
anyone and everyone, with visual or auditory problems. In reality there is no
disability, we must focus on what we still have and use it to our advantage.
After the first year of the birth of Little Fish, Nunez lost his
business partner. This led to new approaches, a new work schedule and new
collaborated ideas. Comic Invasion began actually meaning
something, www.comicinvasion.org picked up
new character graphic novel titles, such as: Lady G On Fire, Thy Kingdom Come,
Round 2 and Kraken. The scripts are written and being edited.
An artist and funding is something I lack, but anyone's support
would be greatly appreciated. This can be done at no charge to you, just simply
log on to my site, and join the (ICN) Independent Comic Network for free. This
network lets you write anything and everything about comics to any member
around the world. Perhaps you can meet someone who knows someone who would be
interested in funding Comic Invasion. You can also donate whatever you can afford
to the PayPal button found at the bottom of the site's page. I thank you all
for your generous donations in advance.
