Prologue
We’re in New York and the year is 2008. It’s an extraordinary year: George Bush gets a shoe thrown at him, OJ goes to jail for kidnapping and robbery, Sarah Palin runs for Vice President, the IPhone 3G is launched, Fidel Castro steps down, there’s a wholesale freak out about the large Hadron Collider creating a black hole and ending the world, the Titans of Wall Street get caught playing with fast and loose with Main Street’s money and the resulting stock market crash triggers a global financial crisis. Oh, and the first black president of the United States is elected.

Hi Andrewgcraft,
I just finished reading your story “Stand Up For Bastards!” and I loved it so much. Your writing is amazing, and I kept thinking how cool it would look as a comic.
I especially loved the Prologue set in New York in 2008, where you weave real‑world events Bush getting a shoe thrown at him, OJ’s jail sentence, the financial crash, and the launch of the iPhone 3G with Jonathan Starling’s sense of crushing stagnation. That combination of historical texture and personal despair sets a cinematic tone that would make for powerful visual scenes . And the dynamic father‑son first meeting between Jonathan and Jake, full of tension and dark humor as the estranged father reenters his life as a rakish, unapologetic figure those contrasting personalities would shine in sequential art through bold panel work and expressive character designs.
It is ideal for making a comic/manga as it blends dramatic urban realism with emotional humor and character-driven conflict perfect for strong visual storytelling.
I’m a commissioned artist, and I’d love to draw your story into a comic/manga. No pressure though, I just think your work would look awesome in comic form.
