Summary

On October 1, 2017, Las Vegas, Nevada suffered the worst mass shooting in modern American history, resulting in fifty-eight deaths and over five hundred injured. It broke my heart. Las Vegas is my home. "I felt like something needed to be done to help in a unique way."--JH WILLIAMS III, Artist and Curating Editor. This "unique way" was the genesis of the WHERE WE LIVE anthology--a riveting collection of both fictional stories and actual eye-witness accounts told by an all-star line-up of the top talent working in comics today. All the creators have graciously volunteered their time and talent to help bring some sense to this senseless act and, in the process, raise money for the survivors and their families. The book will include a variety of perspectives with key themes exploring gun violence, common sense gun control, value of a compassionate society, mental health stigmatization, aftermath of tragedy and how individuals and communities persevere and an appreciation of Las Vegas as a vibrant community.100% of the proceeds for the WHERE WE LIVE anthology will be donated to Route 91 Strong, a non-profit organization
