STORY OF THE YEAR

I must thank my wonderful Wife, Mel, who has supported me on this journey, my Brothers, and of course as always, my Parents and Kids.  Additionally, I want to thank all of the amazing scholars, artists and trusted friends that helped to form what this story is about.  This would not have happened if you guys didn’t make it so.  As my Friend, Alex Simmons suggested; “…all good things come in threes!  I’d like to say THANK YOU to The East Coast Black Age of Comics organization for this prestigious award and a nod of acknowledgement to all of the nominees and winners.

BACK TO WORK!
