Masked men snatching people off the street, innocent people shipped to third world prisons, parents and children separated with no way to reconnect – they sound like plots of a dystopian comic book, not reality. Now new comic, Calexit: Battle of San Onofre #1 from Black Mask Studios, is using its fictional story to help these victims and raise money for the families impacted by the Trump Administration’s ICE Raids.
Premiering at San Diego Comic Con, profits from the Battle of San Onofre will be donated to Alliance San Diego’s Immigrant Relief Fund.
Writer Matteo Pizzolo teams with artist Butch Mapa to create the new Calexit story, which tells the story of friends radicalized by a DHS raid at their workplace – seemingly ripped from today’s headlines, the story was written last year before the current wave of deportations.
Calexit debuted in July 2017 and sold through seven-printings before launching a line of spinoffs. In addition to Calexit: Battle of San Onofre #1, San Diego Comic Con also marks the debut of new volume Calexit: The Battle of Universal City #1.
