Teaching English with Comics

One service available for investors with insight is our TEC Comix:
Teaching English Conversation Comics.

The sample at right ( click to enlarge ) was drawn and inked by Gerald Forton after one of my lessons for learning the phrase "It's a dog eat dog world." The concept is to deliver a brief, illustrated lesson on English language usage to mobile phone users who are students of English as a second language. The ESL market it global and with mobile phones being a key delivery system for a youth market and business people, all we need are wise investors to get this concept into reality.

I am certified to teach English as a second language through Cambridge University at the New York Center for English Studies and have taught English as a second language for seven years both in the United States and in Asia.

Super Heroes as American Icons

With the death of Captain America at Marvel Comics, this comics creator has wondered what it means both to American culture and as a reflection of our times. Dennis O'Niel, author of the DC Guide to Writing Comics, once said that comic book writers are not only writers of fiction but the keepers of American mythology. This is a very serious and real responsibility, I feel.

Why Marvel killed the character Captain America is something I don't know, but I have recoiled from the notion that you 'could' kill that character. For me personally, killing Captain America was desecrating sacred ground. I believe Cap's absence, for those who felt inspired by his presence in the world, will leave a vacuum in his place.



I don't represent the views of other creators affiliated with Spark Publications but I feel that Spark could perhaps light a candle in the darkness that was made when Captain America took that sniper's bullet. With characters like AMERICAN EAGLE and EAGLET, THE LIBERATOR or PAT PARKER-WAR NURSE there are still plenty of American heroes available to fight the good fight.

~ SNEAK PREVIEW OF SPARK PUBLICATIONS ALL-STARS STRIP ~

Above is a sample of the art I'm creating for an All-STARS strip where I'll feature several GOLDEN AGE SUPER HEROES.

This episode features 'Flash' Lightning and Lightning Girl battling three super heroes who appear to have turned evil. It is not long before they discover this is only a ruse for a sentient robots to capture them and harness their amazing power of electricity to sustain their civilization.

See ORIGINAL SPARK PUBLICATIONS HEROES from the 1940's: SWIFT ARROW, ATOMAN & GREEN LAMA join in this fantastic adventure that stretches the boundaries of imagination!!!

Swift Arrow
( featured at left ) was one of the earliest archers on the comics scene, certainly an early inspiration for characters such as Marvel's Hawkeye and DC's Green Arrow.
