Blam! Pow! Take that, immunodeficiency virus!

Posted by Anneli Rufus at 2:18 pm, Monday, January 5, 2009

fistFrom KTKA.com comes news of an HIV-fighting comic-book superhero:

An area pastor has teamed up with a designer to create a comic book hero whose purpose is to fight social problems such as HIV and domestic and gang violence. The character is called Wichita Man, and he will make his debut at the end of the month. The Kansas Health Foundation has granted New Day Christian Church pastor Reuben Eckels nearly $24,000 to illustrate, print and distribute the comic magazine. Eckels developed the comic hero with his 11-year-old son, Sam, and then teamed with illustrator and designer Dante Davis. The free comic magazine will not only address social issues in Wichita. It will also promote the city’s attractions, placing Wichita Man at various spots around town.

Exactly which methods Wichita Man will use in his anti-HIV efforts remains to be seen.

    Hi nice post, i have come across your site once before when searching for something so i was just wondering something. I love your theme, would it happen to be a free one i can download, or is it a custom one you had made? In a few months i may get my own domain, but i don’t know how to setup themes so i don’t mind paying someone to make me a nice one and set it all up. Do you know any good WordPress designer companies, thanks for your help. :)
