I have fallen behind but need to make cash to pay the bills so it happens. Here’s a one pager that was supposed to be published but the publisher failed to get enough funds for the Kickstarter. Imagine struggling to find something and it was….well, you get the title now.

Fletcher Hanks created one of the most recently discovered super heroes from the 40s. Stardust the Super Wizard. This super hero was so different: he was cruel to villains and dealt horrific punishments. I consider him an extremist conservative super hero but after reading what a harsh, difficult, and mean spirited individual Fletcher Hanks was, it came as no surprise. And this background information became my source of inspiration for this story.

Back some years, I did my first webcomic for The Comic Jam https://thecomicjam.com/ where I met the multi-talented TJ Troy: musician, writer, letterer, video creator and editor, and more. The George Romero Tribute was a 3 page story written by TJ Troy and I never felt I did the artwork for it. But I did not do a good job with it and felt I owed TJ a better illustrated webcomic. Years later I revised it and did a WAY better job and here it is!
TJ Troy and I have collaborated many more times since, most recently when I did all the artwork for his music videos/motion comics for his album NINETEEN/TWENTY

Unfortunately I have fallen behind having to work on paying jobs so I am behind in posting my next couple of webcomics. I do have t-shirts and more available for you of my chiaroscurro art style that you can find at https://www.teepublic.com/user/chiaroscurro . Here are some samples of the type of artwork you can buy:
(Poem by Luke W. Henderson. Lettering by Tom Lynnott, Illustrated by CGhirardo)
I was told that April is International Poetry Month so what better way to recognize it than by having a poem comic. However, while my webcomics are written by me, this comic is a poem by fellow Comic Jammer
Luke W. Henderson Twitter/Instagram: @lukewhendersonm Linktr.ee/lukewhenderson ,
illustrated by me Twitter: @cghirardo Instagram: @cghirardo64 and lettered by another fellow Comic Jammer

I’ll let Luke tell you his thoughts about his poem:
I remember the exact moment I first heard the music of Jarad Higgins, better known as Juice WRLD. I was riding in the back of a truck on the way to a job and his song ‘Lucid Dreams’ came on the radio. I’ve always loved hip-hop, but this wasn’t like anything I’d heard before. Most of these songs are about coming up from unfortunate circumstances and flashing their wealth in a way that is celebratory. In contrast, ‘Lucid Dreams’ is about a young man laying his heart bare while reminiscing about a bad breakup. The song is incredibly emotional and honest, displaying Juice’s intense sorrow, anger, and guilt at the situation. It’s how all of his songs are written. He was so open about his depression and addictions showing incredible self-awareness and emotional depth for someone so young. It became one of my comforts when I felt the world crushing me.
Sadly, Juice WRLD left this world six days after his 21st birthday. After having his tour plane stopped by police, he downed all of the drugs in his pocket fearing what would happen to him in prison or at the hands of the police. The world lost a prolific artist who had a lot of life left to live. The US’ poor treatment of black men, people with mental illnesses, and addicts pushed a young man to take his own life rather than be at the mercy of a vicious incarceration system. Juice’s death devastated me and for a while, I had a lot of trouble finding the right way to pay tribute to an artist who meant so much to me. ‘They Taught Me’ finally felt like it had everything I wanted to say and properly said ‘thank you’ to Juice WRLD.
I thank Claudio Ghirardo and Tom Lynott for taking the leap on making this comic and expressing even more than my words did alone.
PS. I hope I did honor to Luke’s poem.
