9-11 Troofers Come Out With Their Own Comic Book
Image Comics’ ‘The Big Lie’ asks some big questions
It has been nearly 10 years since 9/11, and the tragedy is still on the minds of many Americans. One of those, writer and artist Rick Veitch, is convinced we haven’t been told the complete truth about it.
The questions surrounding that fateful day power the themes and story of his new Image Comics series The Big Lie, which debuts Sept. 7 and reteams Veitch with fellow artist Gary Erskine.
…Veitch realizes The Big Lie may be controversial in some circles, yet the country is so polarized in general right now, he’s pretty sure he’ll attract hard cases on both sides of the argument: those who want to simply remember, and those who want real and true answers.
That’s why he has aimed the book itself straight at the middle, to “those folks who might not have thought about these things much in the last 10 years or who participate in the ideological back and forth,” says Veitch, who wants to tackle other historical “big lies” with the series.
“It is right and good that we remember the events of 9/11. It is also vitally important that we get a clearer picture of what really happened.”
LOL! What’s next…comic books about Elvis still being alive or the moon landing being filmed in a Hollywood studio?
