December 31, 1988
In an exhaustive search to improve my acting skills, I participated in a series of activities that I am ashamed of, I participated as a set designer, acting as a tree was never so difficult, as a lion, a sun and I fulfilled some extra roles, to fill in spaces. In some works – with a few lines, but in no time at all, I was able to fulfill my repressed wish number 6.
-Yeah -
-Grandma hello, a pleasure. - Billy said into the phone.
-Son, how is your New Year's party? - she pauses for a moment. – You should come to visit us at some point, your grandfather, he has been working at the stun gas station two blocks away, Do you remember that son you were going to skate with? - said the grandmother.
-I'd like to go anytime. -she said.
Happy new year child, your father told me about your comic and the book that you will soon publish. I'm so proud of you. - said the grandmother.
-yes grandma. - said. - I wish you a happy new year grandmother. Father encouraged me to publish the two comics that I am dealing with and the book was published only in name, I did not find a publisher that would give us decent business. -
-Well, that's good. – He answered. -I could hear how I gestured with his mouth.
>>You haven't been here in a long time, the Texas heat is always overwhelming. You get used to it as time goes by, your father has told me that you have started drawing in your spare time, as well as wanting to be an actor. – I end up saying the grandmother.
-It's a drama school, Grandma, it's not essentially being an actor. - argument. –
Her grandmother wanted another lawyer in the family, at first, her drawings were well received, and her diagrams surprised the family. But the moment he commented that he intended to leave for an artistic career, the problems with her grandmother began to resent on different occasions.
-Yes, it is the same. – She answered. -your father is a good lawyer, he has been working since he finished university, and if you enter the law job, as your father has done. You may win a better job lawn in ten years.
-Grandma, thank you, but it is not my destiny to be a lawyer, I am made to draw, write and interpret. – Her father had just entered the living room and gave her a look of loneliness.
– happy new year grandmother. - said, Thomas.
-In ten days we will go to San Francisco. Your grandfather has some business to do. I hope the inconvenience, I hope your father can give us a clear answer. I reply.
-yes grandma. –
-good night, son. -
Happy New Year, ...and say hello to Grandpa. - Said Billy repeated for the tenth time, with total discomfort.
-Mom is still so sweet since she moved me from Texas to California. – my father commented with a smile.
- I know father, have you finished your work for today? - asked Billy
- Yes, the divorce case I'm handling closed this morning, they decided to reconcile. After a distribution of assets, it turns out that the wife wanted the house in New York. And the husband wanted the new york store, both believed that each wanted what the other wanted. – He said happily. –
He had been negotiating with the counterparty for a full month and getting out of this problem without having to go to court, made his month happy. working in December when his son is on vacation is not to his liking.
- The day after tomorrow we have the meeting with your friend? - I asked for.
-Yes, we had a meeting, you know when you were eight years old and you told me that you wanted to be a great comic book artist, like Marvel studios and D.C comics are. We started to set up a production line in the garage. - He said.
-Yes, I remember that you made me clean. – he answered
-I worked mowing the whole neighborhood's lawn, washed the dishes, and clothes, and sold cookies. – He thought aloud.
-money well spent. - said his father.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
I bought, 140-gram of offset paper, with the help of my father's contacts at the copyright office, we found a supplier who gave us a wholesale sale of 10 kilos of paper for $14.99, 100 kilos for a price of 215 dollars and 1000 kilos for 1300 dollars.
We got a special laser printer for comics, ordered for a hefty sum of $1500 US dollars, expensive high-quality color printing, it would print a quantity of two sheets per minute. For now, for high-quality cost savings, we purchased a special photocopier that produced 1800 DPI “dots per inch” copying to black and white. The purchase of two photocopiers cost for each, the profit is that it allowed copying the document with offset paper of 140 grams, for each side.
The size of 9.99 dollars like a comic will have an A4 size, which is almost like a pocketbook. Each volume of the comic would consist of a total of 25 pages. The cover design on a 200-gram matte paper, the development of the "comic – manga" is to start a production line of 40,000 copies. Marketed throughout California.
In the pocketbook200-gram80s, the Comics industry experienced a boom in popularity with the development of television series and Star Wars movies. Due to this demand, many comic book publishers began to publish titles and series on a massive scale, to capitalize on the rapidly growing market.
However, this unprecedented expansion in the industry generated a saturation in the comic market. today 1988, and tomorrow 1989 many companies are in to capitalize liquidation process, due to the lack of creativity. a Caused'90s a loss of faith on the part of Comics buyers and new technologies have begun to divert consumers to the purchase of video games.
This year Super Mario Bros 3 was launched and it was considered the niche of games, in 1989 the sega genesis console was launched, which would be Nintendo's competitor of these years until its early disappearance in the '90s and its focus on video game production
-don't get me wrong son. – hahahahahahahaha – it's all for your well-being, also thanks to your father you have completed the national and international registration of the copyright of the two series you have created.
-What are their names? they are quite interesting. - asked the Father or as I call the old Carson.
-Father, your Father initiated the copyright process as an original work. –
-They are slam dunks and ghost reports. - said. –
even though reports ghost report is “yuyu Hakusho” the trend of Americanizing series is Hakusho novel idea. I propose to develop the plot in the same way, but giving it an American tone, and using a more planned series.
Copyright registration was done five months ago, and it's a cumbersome process with a main branch in Washington proposing before an integrated copyright search is done. In the databases of the main branch, everything takes a total of (20) twenty days, the registration was made without the slightest inconvenience.
-they are fantastic works, and the level of production of both works is perfect. - said
Slam Dunk, as a ghost report, has a concentrated development of 20 volumes developed. For this series, I plan to do a 50-volume linear story.
-Have you started with the next volumes? Your dear father has been eager to know what will happen in the next volumes. – I intoned.
-yes, Dad, some pages and page boxes still need to be retouched, but volume five of slam dunk is official and the ghost report will be available. I have focused on the Dad Jack and SamuraiHellboySamurai series, to tie the series each. Carry a series of unified publications. - I replied.
-Both are also very good, especially the one about the samurai, it has this air of intrigue that makes you want to read the next volume.
-¡Yes, they are indeed good jobs!" Billy exclaimed.
- I have not yet decided on the development of a few bows, but it will be available soon. I want to give it a sequence and show the stories of some secondary characters so that the body of the work has more meaning, I continue to work on the characters. Billy replied.
The other weekend, we will do the registration of Samurai Jack and Hellboy. I can't wait to earn points the moment my comics are published.
-Very well tomorrow we will have a meeting with the managers of Dark Horse Comics. Let's not hurry, plan b is the company that went bankrupt a year and a half ago, Charlton Comics. Some enthusiasts bought it but there can be business if we propose it. although Dark Horse Comics liked your comics. – I mention the adult.
-thanks, Dad. –
There was support from my father. It was not total, many conditions were imposed to achieve the predicaments on the publication of comics. Beginning with the fulfillment of my school subjects fully, in the final exams of each grade. – but it's certainly nice to have someone. -
On the other hand, the beginnings of Hellboy of the performing arts academic for adolescents were based on the fulfillment of pantomime activities, theater games,little-by-little, and improvisations.
– I am amused. -I thought.
In a wish fulfillment count.
[reincarnator's wish:
6. Publishes a comic with sales of 100,000 copies.
to discover your next repressed desire you must fulfill the first one.
7. …]
Number 1, was mysteriously fulfilled when I joined the theater group and participated in the play as an extra, I had a total of four short lines, but the wish fulfillment helped me raise my drawing skills to level 20, as well as the little-by-little overcoming my stage fright.
Task number 1 gave me a total of 100 points. Thus successively the subsequent tasks valued a total of 100 points with a progressive increase of 10 points for each task.
Although the subsequent development of each activity increased by ten points, the difficulty increased. It was revealed that, with each step, my heart glowed. Every desire rooted in my heart cleanses the dark feelings that my heart kept deeply.

My idea is to come out with the basketball slam dunk series, due to my drawing skills and the purchase of the series that I unlock when I increase my drawing skills to level 20, the work was more fluid, and I was able to establish a timeline of the slam dunk.
