how WE GROW

The comic book industry has grown much like the young budding tree in the garden of world entertainment and communications mediums. This most tender of trees is about to burst forth from its youthful slumber and spread its protective branches over all the peoples, nations and cultures of civilization.

Comic books, the creative cradle of modern society's entertainment industry, are perhaps the most fitting place to birth such a monumental event in civilization's evolution, for two tangible reasons:

1 The overall creative force of the comic book industry, since its inception, has birthed and defined today's mythology for modern civilization. Film, literature, television and the whole of the entertainment industry have acquired their greatest inspiration from the force which has driven and defined the comic book industry. Only here at the root of it all can a whole mythology be birthed and perpetuated to a measure that it can inspire the rest of the entertainment industry and thus, civilization at large.

2 In order that such a movement could be nourished and fermented enough to allow it to gain the popular momentum needed to stand up against the present hierarchy and socio-political leadership of the world, it needs to ferment in a relatively anonymous environment, one that no one serious takes too seriously. If this was to be attempted within the TV, film or literature industries, it would be immediately killed in its embryo stage for fear of it's potential success within such popular and volatile environments. The comic book industry, home of the silly and the absurd could never pose such a threat to the world's powers that be. The Son of Man, when he returns with great glory, would never be expected to rise from within such a juvenile medium and in such a non-orthodox manner as is proposed here. This is what will catch the world by surprise, long enough to make it impossible to stop his rise, and with him raising the entirety of the lowest of industries, the comic books, to the highest halls of world leadership. "Many who are first shall be last and many who are last shall be first."

The comic book industry serves as one of the most potent powder keg microphones to the peoples of the world today. Only through a creative design-science revolution can the comic book industry become the focus of innovative and creative guidance for world leaders and enterpeneurs in order to re-channel the world's resources so as to insure the successful deliverance of the entire human race from the calamity of despair which has overtaken our once hopeful stride towards a greener paradise. Only through such a declaratory mission statement can the comic book industry hope to burst out of its cocoon and spread its new wings of healing across the horizons of our history in the making which lay ahead.

Only through a directive for the salvation of mankind can the real supeheroes, the comic book writers and artists, begin to direct a course for the saving of their own world.
