On October 1, 2017, Las Vegas, Nevada
suffered the worst mass shooting in modern American history, resulting in 58
deaths and over 500 injured. It broke my heart. Las Vegas is my home. I felt
like something needed to be done to help in a unique way.” — JH
WILLIAMS III, Artist & Curating
Editor
This “unique way”
was the genesis of the WHERE WE LIVE anthology—a riveting collection of
both fictional stories and actual eye-witness accounts told by an all-star
line-up of the top talent working in comics today. All the creators have
graciously volunteered their time and talent to help bring some sense to this
senseless act and, in the process, raise money for the survivors and their
families.
The book will include a
variety of perspectives with key themes exploring gun violence, common sense gun
control, value of a compassionate society, mental health stigmatization,
aftermath of tragedy and how individuals & communities persevere and an
appreciation of Las Vegas as a vibrant
community.
100% of the proceeds for
the WHERE WE LIVE anthology will be donated to Route 91 Strong, a non-profit
organization.
