Broken Frontier

Charlie Foxtrot Entertainment, the only entertainment group made up of military veterans, announces its new comic book series, CITY OF FIRE, to be released in Fall of 2007. 

CITY OF FIRE, with brutal honesty, tells the story, for the first time, of what really happened on the morning of June 24, 2004, when insurgents set off several car bombs, killing and injuring hundreds, assassinated two key police officials and then overran a police station and mosque in the heart of Mosul, Iraq, in an attempt to cripple a city and bring down a country, and how the men of the 1/23rd Blackhawk company, exhausted already from three straight days of combat, went back into the city to take it back.

Heading up the comic series is Ernesto Haibi, Tom Waltz, Gerry Kissell and Jon Alderink.  Ernesto Haibi, an active duty soldier in the U.S.
Army stationed at Ft. Lewis, WA, and whom also fought in the battle depicted in the comic City of Fire, hosts a live web talk show, and has appeared on NPR's All Things Considered for his outspoken opinion on war, politics and religion. Ernesto is also an accomplished writer, with one of the most popular blog spots on the Internet regarding the war in Iraq "A Candle in the Dark".  Tom Waltz, a resident of San Diego, California, is the writer and co-creator of the critically acclaimed comic book series CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE (IDW Publishing) and the forthcoming graphic novel FINDING PEACE.  Gerry Kissell, a resident of Springfield, Missouri, is a published artist, cartoonist and writer and has been working for over twenty years in the publishing field. His work has covered a variety of subjects from limited edition Star Trek art prints to political cartoons for the Federal Way News, in Washington.

In the mid 1990's, Gerry had a successful serialized sci-fi comic series in the Octopus Magazine called BEOWOLF: Seven of Our Own. Jon Alderink of Holland, Michigan, is the only non military member of the creative team at Charlie Foxtrot Entertainment. A student of Joe Kubert, the incredible and most prolific war comic book artist of the 20th century, Jon is a gifted artist himself, who brings a lot to the table and the mission.
