The first issue of a four-part graphic novel, which clearly highlights how privacy-invading camera phone fuels our multi-billion dollar spy-cam industry, has been published online.
This clever story follows a young man’s adventures into a new "voyeur underground" where profit-hungry youths prowl streets filming violent events to satisfy society’s demand for radical content.
The author’s first graphic novel, TJ Behe has several years expereince working with mobile companies and beleives there are some alarming and concerning activities surrounding mobile usage which need to be addressed in society.
"I’ve recently seen the good, bad and very ugly side of wireless technology and I just felt the urge to knock out something exposing the creepy realities - the schemes, scams, health risks, social dangers - surrounding those firms operating in the market. After all, we all now live with one of these things in our pocket/purse."
Behe collaborated with Phil Elliott a veteran in the UK comics industry who past graphic novels include Illegal Alien (with James Robinson for Dark Horse) and Tupelo (Slave Labor Graphics).
The 144-page four-issue graphic novel will be published by Slave Labor Graphics at www.eyemelt.com with hard copies expected to arrive in shops early 2008.
