DISCLAIMER:

Regarding the comic book pages depicting the Iraq War:

Please note that this is not a traditional narrative. Rather the pages are designed with what Scott McCloud, in his book, Understanding Comics, refers to as “Aspect–to–Aspect” transitions and “Non-Sequitur” transitions in an attempt to convey the overall atmosphere of war. The images are juxtaposed according to subject matter or an overall visual theme for each page. Interspersed throughout the series are abstract images which I thought conveyed the psychological intensity more directly. The idea is also that when one looks at the way the popular media presents such topics the world is starting to look more and more like a bad comic book. The media (the news, popular movies, comic books, video games, etc.) sell war as another form of entertainment. So it was my intention to make a comic book of it. I deliberately left the borders of the prefabricated blue lined art boards visible in order to emphasize the notion that one is looking at a comic book.
