Khosis is an American comic book/graphic novel series created and written by Tré Williams. Wait why am I speaking in 3rd person?? The whole concept of Khosis stemmed from one question and that was “why isn’t the mental illness community… particularly people with bipolar not represented in comic form?” I along with countless of others have been diagnosed with a bipolar disorder and I wanted to create something that reflected that. My whole mission statement with this is just because we have this illness doesn’t mean we still can’t be cool and do cool things. So much of myself is scattered just in the first issue alone, this series means so much to me. It’s been a long time coming (INPUT SAM COOKE JOKE) after jotting down the original idea in my little notebook back in 2013, I’ve finally been able to see the idea come to fruition and I’m hoping you all enjoy it. I hope I inspire someone to go for their dream. Thank you for taking the time out to read this.
Before I was diagnosed with epilepsy I was funding the entire project myself. I was paying as I went, so a set of pages I was paying for at one time. The book would’ve been had these seizures hadn’t ruined everything. With your help I can finally get the book drawn and finished. I actually have the series written all of the way to the third book. I went to a local comic con to talk about Khosis and the reception was really well recieved. I envision Khosis can be for the bipolar community what Daredevil is for the blind community.
The first 20 backers will get a free digital copy of the book and personal shout out in the book from Khosis himself thanking you for your support.
The goal I’m aiming for is $1000. That’s the budget for the illustrator to get started. After he finishes it’s on from there. It’s been hard so far reaching it because I’m restricted from working but yet social security won’t accept me. It’s made me want to give up so many times but I’m still trying to fight for a dream.
