I made a 5-page comic that illustrates the story of a surviving victim of the Hiroshima Bombing. While making this comic, I want to emphasize the horror behind the event while being respectful by not making too much shock value for the sake of shock value. 
The reason why I wanted to do this was to get out of my comfort zone: which was making sci-fi as well as other forms of fantasy.  This took place in a class known as Professional Practice, a class known for guiding students to transition into the business world of making comics, such as promoting books, etc. The whole point was to generate an idea through the use of illustration that comic book viewers can get behind.
