I was inspired to submit ideas to the New York City department of Health by my cousin William Cordero. He passed away from AIDS at the age of 50. I wanted to educate the young about HIV & AIDS on his behave. I came up with a talking pencil name Len Licnep. It's pencil spelled backwards. When the pamphlet was published it was distributed through out all the NYC public schools. I use to sign my work, REDROC. That's my last name spelled backwards; leaving out the last letter.
I'm glad I still have the mechanicals. Not only did I write and illustrated the pamphlet, I also prepared the artwork for the printer.
This is a 12 page comic book. The mystical character EKAWA, (AWAKE spelled backwards,) magically appears to warn a man of the dangers of STD'S.
