He showed Ben how to make mini-comics out of tree bark, twine and a pocket knife. Said he drew his comics in his own blood and kept them in mason jars buried in his yard. He even showed Ben a map he made pointing out the spots of all the jars. Thankfully Ben has a photographic memory and made a copy of the map when he got home. One day he says he&#8217;s gonna go back up there and dig up everyone of them mini-comics. That Ole Ben is such a crazy fella.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wide Awake Press: INDIE ISLAND AT THE 2005 HEROES CONVENTION The link above is a report on the recent Charlotte con, via J.
