Tempest #1

Tempest #1 (2006, Alias) introduces a poignant, character-driven story where a father, a comic book artist, channels his grief and frustration over Hurricane Katrina into his work, using his Sentry-Man comic as a lens to talk to his son about the disaster’s impact. Written by Ben Avery and illustrated by Javier Saltares, with contributions from a talented team of artists and inkers, the issue blends personal storytelling with a quiet act of civic courage, as the father takes tangible steps to support relief efforts through the Salvation Army. The cover by Randy Green captures the emotional weight of the moment, grounding the story in real-world resonance.
