Jimi Hendrix, Jack the Ripper, Da Vinci, Princess Di, Nixon, John Wilkes Booth, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Jesus, Nostradamus, Sinatra, Henry VIII -- kings, pharaohs, inventors, theorists, rabble & rabble-rousers. . . everybody’s makin’ comics!

Whether you be a fan of John Lennon or Emily Dickinson, or if you just love dead folks, this one's for you!

It's a book which will challenge the very nature of comics! Each piece will reveal a new sense of comics storytelling, in art, in script, in its way of imparting information!

Imagine, if you will, a world where everyone felt it necessary to communicate through the comics medium. For as far back as we could remember, people who were -- or were to become -- famous sat down and wrote and drew their own comics!

That’s what this non-code ongoing series is. Each arc is a new "creator," a different style, a different approach to the purpose of a comic.

Artists experiment with the form, religious figures use it to impart what they feel is important information, politicos use it in its simplest state to the best advantage they can. . . Historical figures from all walks of life write and draw their own comics.

Picasso’s comic: full-page panels, it’s all blues and reds (little or no white) -- the colors reflecting moods -- as we follow a very pompous man through town and see people’s reactions to his arrogance. He’s certain he’s well-loved, but we get the real view, the inside view. Drawn in Picasso’s inimitable style (except by someone like Jon Muth), this story will show how Picasso would have pushed comics further than they have been pushed, showing a fluidity of motion and a single powerful story, each page a masterpiece.

Napoleon’s comic: Napoleon has cast himself as the main character-- people from other countries, from all classes, come to him for help. He is needed, he is important (and virtually every shot is worm’s eye view of the people looking up at Napoleon, whom they see with light shining brightly around him), the people need his leadership, they need his brilliance! He is the Superman of his day-- ruler, leader, hero to all!

Hitchcock’s comic: A Hitchcockian thriller: a man has an irrational fear of open space.  Whether in the middle of a street -- with telephone poles disappearing into the horizon -- or in a large stadium -- where the seats seem to go up forever -- the man is fearful of open space.  And worse, someone wants him dead (of course)!  He dare not be alone, but he dare not leave his home!  It's a comic where more is said by showing less on the page...a book about a regular guy in over his head -- in a world of trouble!  What would you do?

The Wright Brothers’ comic: He seems like a firebrand, a troublemaker -- this snake-oil salesman who travels from town to town with his Gypsy cart in tow and his pal at his side.  But, in actuality, the man is independently wealthy and a brilliant inventor!  And when he hears of trouble in a town, he heads there with heroic fervor, looking to save the people!  Schematics accompany the use of each invention.  Together with his sidekick, he’s undefeatable -- they’re bright, they’re fearless, they’re the R. & E. Travel Bros.!

J. Edgar Hoover’s comic: In a world where everything is black & white, The Men will track down the demagogues, those going against the grain, stirring up trouble amongst the masses. The Men -- true men, real men -- will stop any who just aren’t up to snuff!  Yes, Hoover knows all about real men...and here's where he imparts his knowledge!!

And these are just the beginning. . .
