On October 1, 2017, Las Vegas, Nevada suffered the worst mass shooting
in modern American history, resulting in 58 deaths and over 500 injured.
It broke my heart. Las Vegas is my home. I felt like something needed to
be done to help in a unique way." -- JH WILLIAMS III, Artist & Curating
Editor
This "unique way" was the genesis of the WHERE WE LIVE anthology--a
riveting collection of both fictional stories and actual eye-witness
accounts told by an all-star line-up of the top talent working in comics
today. All the creators have graciously volunteered their time and
talent to help bring some sense to this senseless act and, in the
process, raise money for the survivors and their families.
The book will include a variety of perspectives with key themes
exploring gun violence, common sense gun control, value of a
compassionate society, mental health stigmatization, aftermath of
tragedy and how individuals & communities persevere and an appreciation
of Las Vegas as a vibrant community.
100% of the proceeds for the WHERE WE LIVE anthology will be donated to
Route 91 Strong, a non-profit organization.
