Years ago I had an email from an astounding author who has come across my comic book and purchased on. His email was a thank you for the fun. I was excited and appreciated the timing, when I was feeling the strain of putting out the comics but not getting any feedback.
Were my comics any good? Did anyone read them?
I emailed Barry back immediately and asked him if he would be willing to write something about my comic which I could post on my site. With no obligation to do so, this first class author sent me my very first review, which I had posted on my site, but also became a primary review on my first graphic novel.
He also has a link on his site BarryEisler.com:
“Jaime Buckley is the writer and artist behind a fantastic comic book series, “Wanted: Hero.” Jaime’s art harkens back to the heyday of Eerie and Creepy comics, yet his vision is refreshingly original.”
Barry has entertained so many people around the globe and I became such a huge fan, one of my characters, Bookworm–a Gnome assassin who was able to go unseen and his hits untraceable, shifted. I wanted to promote the incredible talent of Barry and realized I could do this by making some alterations in my Gnome character. Hence Bookworm became a national best selling writer, who did hit man work on the side.
You can learn more about Barry Eisler and Bookworm by going to WantedHero.com.
Barry recently gave a talk on “What Does It Mean To Be A Learner Today?” of TEDxTokyo 2009, held on May 22 at National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. He has unknowingly been an encouragement to me in pursuing the novels and becoming a published author.
