As a kid in Harpers Ferry, I read and drew alot of Super Hero comics. I cut-out paper dolls of my favorite characters, so they actually came to life off the pages that i drew them on!

In fact Nancy Reagan did bring the Super Heroes known as “The Defenders of the Earth” in 1986 to the Harpers Ferry trainstation downtown. All of Shipley School went to see them tell us to “Just Say No to Drugs”. Flash Gordon was the most famous of that group. Thursday, Sept. 11, 1986. The rally was part of a cross country journey “Whistlestop Tour for the Prevention of Drug Abuse,” targeted at getting elementary school-aged children to say no to drugs: Mrs. Reagan declared the city the first “Just say no” town in America.

Here I have drawn fan art, in the style of my youth to show 4 of the most famous heroes: Wonder Woman, Spiderman, Superman, Captain America, and Batman (DC, Marvel, DC, Marvel, DC). The photo background house is 1989, at the height of my comic collecting. Harpers Ferry itself is a perfect setting for heroes and villains of all kinds.
