A Graphic Novel that takes you inside the lives of real Detroit firefighters! True stories fused together into a breathtaking narrative!
|
This is not a work of exaggerated propaganda created in order to persuade people into becoming firefighters or to idolize firefighters as super-humans. This is a look at the reality of what firefighters go through; how they all handle the pain and suffering they face in different ways. My goal is to share some of the burdens they face so we will gain more respect for the extraordinary service they offer the world, however they fail or succeed.
