Here it is! In all of its glory, issue #2 for Abe the Aborted Fetus in Roe vs Abe. This is the OFFICIAL cover for the comic book. And what's more is that this book has an official release date, and it's not nearly as far as you might think. The book is slated for a July 1st launch! That's right, this explosive issue will be ready in time for the 4th of July. So there you have it! An official release date along with the official cover. Check back for more information. I however, will be out of town as of the morning of May 19th - May 25th on a vacation, so I will update with news when I get back.
I think I might actually be in shock. My book is coming to life in some sort of weird fucked up, unimaginable way? Read the article I found at: AOL NEWS
Report of Surviving Aborted Baby Sparks Furor in Italy
Terence Neilan Contributor (April 30)
-- As far as the doctors in southern Italy were concerned, the abortion was over. When a priest reportedly found the 22-week-old infant still breathing the next day, he was rushed to intensive care, but efforts to save him failed and the 11-ounce baby died.
The first-time mother was said to have chosen the abortion after scans revealed that the baby had a cleft lip and palate, a condition that is often cured with surgery.
News of the incident has caused a storm in Italy, The Daily Telegraph of London reported today, with calls for the heavily Catholic country's abortion laws to be changed.
The police are investigating for possible homicide because doctors in Italy are obliged to try to preserve the life of a child who survives abortion, and the government has vowed to conduct an inquiry.
The Rev. Antonio Martello raised the alarm after kneeling to pray beside the body at a hospital in Rossano. He found the baby, with umbilical cord still attached, moving and breathing some 20 hours after he had been removed from the womb.
Doctors at a specialist neo-natal clinic at a nearby hospital were unable to save the infant's life.
Archbishop Santo Marciano of Rossano-Cariati said the abortion should lead Italians to reflect on "the tragic character of abortion" and said the child's death also "invites us to consider with what ease a person who is seriously malformed and simply undesired is treated inhumanely," the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano reported.
The Telegraph reported that a former Vatican official, Bishop Elio Sgreccia, told Vatican Radio that if a baby is alive after an abortion, the doctor "is obliged to make it live," adding, "The law must clarify this."
Abortion on demand in the first three months of pregnancy has been available in Italy since 1978 but is restricted in the second trimester to circumstances such as disability, The Telegraph said, adding that the government is considering a review of the laws.
I suppose one could call me selfish, holding onto 25 pages of completed Abe the Aborted Fetus artwork that has yet to be seen by the eyes of anyone other than myself, Anthony Tan and Santosh Rath. Yes, that's right, Chapter two is in its full colored glory, only now waiting in line to be lettered by the very talented Zach Matheny.
But before I go off promising anything, things are moving along quite nicely for the project and I'm hoping that there will be some big announcements in the coming weeks. But as it is now, I can only tell you that the book looks amazing, and I am in the process of receiving some amazing new inks for Chapter 3.
Perhaps I'll post some exclusive pinups of the new artwork on this blog in the next few days.
Anyway, I will be attending the MNCBA's Springcon convention this May 15th and 16th and the Minnesota Fairgrounds for those interested in attending.
It's ironic. Almost daily I receive e-mails and letters from those who tell me that I am going to go to Hell for my "exploitation" of the abortion issue through my book, horrified that I am showing the Pope as an evil entity in the book. Now, below are just two e-mails I've actually received. I selected these ones specifically due to the reference of the Pope.
"I pretty much found your characterization of Catholicism and the Pope to be ignorant..."
"I read the FAQ's. You claim to not bring politics or religion in to this. I see where you have a Pope Palpitine that appears to be evil. The Pope represents the Catholic religion. So why use a religious character that is so dear to the Catholic people?"
My characterization of the Pope is ignorant? The Pope represents the Catholic religion? Ok... I'm going to try and remain objective about this, so here we go.
Fuck you. My characterization of the Pope is EVERYTHING that I have claimed thus far, and the recent scandals in the media have only validated my claims. The Pope is supposed to be the HIGHEST moral standard for Catholics as he claims to be appointed by God for the people to pass a message of purity. Instead this pope served (willingly) as a Nazi in Germany, and has protected several pedophiles to safely operate inside the church without prosecution. The prior Pope had also served the Nazi's as a salesman selling zyklon b, which the Nazi's used to murder millions of Jews in concentration camps. He (much like the current Pope) protected countless pedophiles while preaching the exact opposite. And we want to deify this motherfucker and turn him into a saint?
I'm going to be blunt... Protecting pedophiles from prosecution and willingly assist the Nazi's in the slaughter of Jews is not a high moral standard. In fact, the Vatican has never publicly condemned the Nazi's for their actions. Every single communist had been excommunicated from the Catholic Church, while ZERO Nazi's have been, including Adolf Hitler (who contrary to public belief was actually a Christian and NOT an Atheist.)
Now, people claim that I am quite ignorant when it comes to Catholicism and the religion thereof. Oh how little you know of me. Let me explain. I've read the Bible, the Qua-ran, Torah, Dead Sea Scrolls which includes: The Book of Enoch, Gnostic Bible, and various other forms of religious media because it is important for me to do research based on a topic that I am going to write about. And there is one thing I can tell you above anything else, all you Catholics who e-mail me about how the Pope is the representation of the Catholic Religion. FUCK YOU. He is not. Jesus Christ is the representation to your faith, and more importantly, the symbolism that he had died on a cross for your sins. Are you that fucking stupid that you would forsake the entire foundation of YOUR own religion for some false prophet in a stupid fucking hat?
In closing, I will not define my religious beliefs to those who ask, because it's none of your goddamned business. Just know that when you go ahead and claim that I am ignorant on religion, keep in mind that you don't know a fucking thing about me, and your claims are baseless and prejudice. And to further prove my point, I'm providing a video below on the widening sex scandal of your beloved Pope that you refuse to admit is a Nazi and a Pedophile.
