Ripped From The Headlines!

Here's a list of Actual Events that inspired this crazy story:

  • Sword-wielding Dallas man beaten by mob after attempting to defend his favorite bar
  • Salt Lake City man threatens crowd with Bow & Arrow
  • McAllen man threatens protesters with Chainsaw
  • Brooklyn lawyers burn NYPD vehicle with Molotov Cocktails
  • Activist calls for riots and then cries to police when his neighborhood is attacked
  • An "autonomous zone" set up in Seattle...where the police aren't allowed
  • Media & Government encouraging people to gather in large groups...just days after shaming them for going to the beach

 

My main challenge was to create a story that accurately portrays the times we live in...without being outdone by some new form of lunacy!

Speed was crucial to capture current events. But it is also part of the aesthetic. Necessary to capture the raw emotions of "these trying times."

 

Already Complete!

This 26-page black-and-white comic book was created in secret while the events that inspired it unfolded!

  •  All art complete
  • Going to press in July 2020

 

Connected to PANdemIC!

  • DO AS YOU'RE TOLD takes place in the same timeline as PANdemIC (which is basically the real world with a few extra pieces of flair)
  • THESE TRYING TIMES Combo Pack includes both DO AS YOU'RE TOLD and PANdemIC
  • This is all leading to a Cross-Over Event titled THEOSOPHY
