"We’re all superheroes in our own stories and in comics we get to see our heroes wrestle with Guilt, Fear, Commitment, Love, Loss, in very direct, imaginative and entertaining ways."

Platform Comics' "10K Challenge" competition challenges comic authors to write a short comic in 7 days with a theme given the day before and a line of dialogue that must be in the story. I teamed up with Portuguese artist Ramiro Antunes and we got these elements:

Theme: Doctor in Vietnam War
Linha of dialogue: Maybe they were in self-quarantine

The idea was then to follow a soldier in Vietnam who starts delirious (after being abandoned by a doctor) and creates a bloodthirsty imaginary friend. It could only end badly.

Art and color: Ramiro Antunes
Year: 2020
