#2 J-Rod

| November 3, 2011 | 0 Comments

J-Rod is another character from the graphic novel I’m working on. The lone survivor of the UFO crash at Groom Lake in the early 1950’s, he’s the reason Area 51 exists. When interacting with humans who aren’t in the know, he uses an image inducer (not the final name for the gadget), like what Nightcrawler has in the X-Men comics, to disguise himself as Jarrod, a middle-aged black man. This image is based on one of the men stationed at Area 51.

 

#1 Jack

JackJack is the main character of a long-form webcomic/graphic novel I’m working on. For the bulk of the story he’s in his late twenties. He’s a US Air Force military cop who becomes a protege of sorts to a CIA agent while stationed in Japan in the early 1950’s. He’s then transferred to the recently opened Area 51, where hijinks ensue.
