July 1995 I went to the Jazz mobile at grants Tomb with my good friend Asuquo Ukpong a gifted Architect to help him set up his booth and also share space with him, Asuquo was selling his apparel T-shirts and art work and I was selling my Crime graphic novel with posters and T-shirts.
This will be the debut of my Illustrated novel in America It premiered in London UK stores and in the grater London area including Nottingham, north of London and in such store as a Tower records, Virgin Mega storesUK

This showing was special because I’ll have a chance to get direct feedback from my New York audience.
My most memorable experience from that event was when I gave a complementary copy to Jerry Jack a photographer friend of mine whom I worked with on New Word magazine he disappeared into the crowd.
When he returned he wanted another copy he said his friend’s girlfriend saw it and wanted it and was willing to purchase it at any cost from him so he sold it to her he gave me her card it read Jeannette Kahn president of D.C. comics.

I called her the next day and she said she remembered me from when she was the publisher of Heavy metal Magazine in the late seventies. I was working with John Workman on my first story with I wrote and illustrated for the magazine when I was 16 years old and junior at the High School Of Music and Art. It meant the world to me to hear her congratulations on my Graphic novel.
