I am re-posting this with some more changes:

Troop Stories and the Creators bringing them to Life! As you all can see I am still in need of artist to illustrate stories and writers to script them. And a letterer to do all the stories. So if your interested please contact me at cmerwin6@gmail.com If you have said you would pencil , ink , letter , or script a story and have not come through you have really put me in a difficult situation. If you commit and say you will help out and work on a story I really need you to do so. Remember this is not for me this is to support our Troops who have sacrificed so much to keep us safe here at home! I know this is not payed work but I thought I would be able to bring the comic book community both main stream and independent creators together on this to give a little something back to our troops! I really need you folks to help me out here or I am going to let a lot of people down. I made a promise to the troops, Please Please help me fulfill that promise!

Links to those involved in the creation of this Graphic Novel :Due to some unforeseen circumstances ,some of the previous creator's that had said they would be a part of the Graphic Novel project and were posted on this page are no longer able to be a part of it. So I have had to remove them from the list to my dismay.Below are the remaining creators.

Clayton D. Murwin AKA THE HERO MAKER: Project Head/Creator of Untold Stories From Iraq & Afghanistan "

Frederick Pullin: Ohio-based writer His love for visual storytelling, though, makes the graphic novel his favored medium, and his work has found its way into projects in Europe and the UK. Frederick is also an experienced martial artist trained in both Japanese and Chinese styles, lending reality to his action sequences .When he isn’t writing, Frederick is in the classroom as a substitute teacher.


Chuck Bordell : Artist/Penciler/Inker was born a poor transistor farmer in the Rust Belt of western Pennsylvania. His childhood was filled with polluted rivers that he fell in love with anyway, the sound of railroad cars crashing together, and dreams of lusty women of dubious reputation. Eventually, he tired of all things iron and decided to trade rust for heavy metals, moving to Missoula, MT in 1987. Despite a decided lack of tree cover (comparatively speaking) he found Missoula to his liking and, after earning a degree in Archaeology in 1991, decided to stay and continue his quest for the world record two-headed trout. In the meantime, he discovered that he had some skill in telling stories through sequential art and has since worked for numerous comic book publishers, including Malibu Comics, Caliber Comics, Brainstorm Comics, Transfuzion, 01 Comics, Alpha Productions and Silverline Comics. His latest graphic novel is called Lunatic Fringe and may be found at www.01Comics.com

Michael Hudson : Artist /President Ree Art Studios I have been involved in the art world for the past 29 years. My first interest was in cartooning, having grown up on a steady diet of comic books and movies, but life has a funny way of throwing curve balls and since I couldn't be either one of my heroes, Wally Wood or Errol Flynn, I ended up somehow as an accomplished landscape and portrait painter. I never got over my love of comics, pulps and movies from the silents to the Bs and a few years ago found myself longing to be a part of that culture. Call it middle age crazy but here I am utilizing my business contacts, design skills and love for these forms of entertainment to pay homage to the characters and creators I admire. BTW, I still paint, sell prints and do gallery shows and such as time permits.

Larry Hama: The LEGEND Himself LARRY HAMA has tentatively agreed to write the forward for the Soldier Graphic Novel Untold Stories From Iraq & Afghanistan after he and his lawyers review the final product !
