| "Imagination is a prosthetic device," writes author Kelly Cherry. Nick Dupree understands. “I started drawing Superdude comics in 1991 when I got sick,” says Nick. “During my four month stay in the hospital, Superdude helped me maintain my sanity. I could laugh and imagine myself going on heroic adventures, far away from the hard reality of medical entrapments.”

Two years ago when Nick lost the ability to draw by hand, he learned to draw by moving his left thumb on a trackball. Now at
seventeen he has created more than sixty comic books. Nick, a student at Spring Hill College, says this cartoon (above) was inspired by a comment from CPT II deficiency person David Killey, who claims to have conversed with a few brick walls. (Haven’t we all?) |
