Started as an eComic, WANTED:HERO is the adventure of the would be hero, Wendell P. Dipmier and his companions Dax (the outcast) and Morphiophelius, a.k.a. ‘Chuck’ (the senile) among the shattered planets of the Nexus. A universe where Gods and Devils are real and the planets of the colonies are falling to the dark presence of Master Mahan, keeper of the Book of Dark Bindings. Wanted Hero has been read by billions of Gnomes, men and even the dark Ogriel, who still seek for the blood of their mortal enemies, the Nethinim.
Originally started in 1990, the short stories were re-written as new information became available. In 2004 Jaime Buckley created his first comic book, in 2005 started the online site and made the comic book available as an ‘eComic’ (electronic comic book) with full permission to print and share copies for only $0.97. When old injuries resurfaced and made drawing impossible, Jaime switched to writing the stories in novel form, the first WANTED:HERO pre-novel: Prelude to a Hero scheduled to come out in the fall of 2010.
When first released in comic book form (the only medium Jaime knew how to work in, having a background as a cartoonist), attempts to publish a sketchy rendition of the storyline met with great success. After several months of tinkering, and still without a clue of how to promote the eComic, Jaime finally uploaded the original site onto the internet. A web site crafted with nothing more than determination and a handful of library books, it grew in popularity and pulled in over 750,000 visitors its first year online. It has maintained, from that time forward, to capture interest of readers in more than 60 countries around the globe.
Since then, Jaime has worked with thousands of youth, teaching them how to create eComics of their own and encouraging others to pursue their dreams. WANTED:HERO continues to grow day by day in popularity, touching the hearts and minds of youth and the young at heart across the globe.
