The Epics of Enkidu

* The Epics of Enkidu is written and colored by Ahmed Alameen. Ahmed was inspired by his nephew's autism to interpret the Epics of Gilgamesh with a new perspective. He recognized that Enkidu's traits were similar to those of his nephew. And then came the idea to tell a modern-day story of an immortal Enkidu and those who will support and oppose him.  * * This is my review of The Epics of Enkidu.  * * To Hear A 1-On-1 Interview With Ahmed: https://anchor.fm/seth-the-storyteller/episodes/The-Epics-of-Enkidu---with-Ahmed-Alameen---Episode-73-ees521 [https://anchor.fm/seth-the-storyteller/episodes/The-Epics-of-Enkidu---with-Ahmed-Alameen---Episode-73-ees521] * * Contact: guttersandpanels@gmail.com #comics #artist #writer #creator #epicsofenkidu #story #review #storytelling #guttersandpanels #indiecomics #legends #epicofgilgamesh

Makhno: Ukrainian Freedom Fighter

Makhno: Ukrainian Freedom Fighter Nestor Ivanovych Miknienko was born in 1888 to a peasant family in the Ukrainian town of Huliaipole.  He was a shepherd by age seven, and a farm worker at 12. Makhno earned his name as an anarchist during the 1905 revolution. At the age of 20, he participated in a failed assassination attempt. He was sentenced to death, and standing on the gallows with his comrades when his sentence was commuted to a lifetime of forced labo. Makhno remained incarcerated until 1917 when the second revolution arose.  His adventures became legends. Makhno led the Soviets in the Huliaipole region, organized communes with 100-300 volunteers, expropriated exploiters, put lands in the hands of poor peasants, placed businesses under self-management, and imposed Francisco Ferrer’s libertarian and avantgarde educational methods in the schools. He founded labor and agricultural unions.  In January 1918, he founded an army, the Makhnovshchina, with railroad worker Viktor Belash at its head. But hard times and the trials of his heart were coming. Whether it was Marusya, Haylyna or his own mother, every woman in Makhno's life paid a price for loving him. PRESS RELEASE ON 3/22/22 Humanoids has announced that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their upcoming graphic novel MAKHNO: UKRAINIAN FREEDOM FIGHTER will be donated to the Ukrainian nonprofit organization Razom [https://razomforukraine.org/], which supplies medical aid to Ukrainian fighters on the front lines. “In the spirit of Nestor Ivanovich Makhno himself, a courageous freedom fighter who took more than once to the front lines of combat, Humanoids has chosen to donate to the organization working most directly with the freedom fighters of today,” said Humanoids Publisher Mark Waid.
