HOLLYWOOD, CA, Jul 08 (MARKET WIRE) --
The rising swell of fear surrounding the imminent threat of atomic
warfare has once again become commonplace in our daily news.
Organizations such as Global Zero have partnered with the most
significant politicians and celebrities of our current culture to draw
attention to what dangers lie ahead if left unchecked.
Inspired by this movement, three men, Jazan Wild (founder Carnival Comics,
comic creator, writer, songwriter/musician), Jonathan Elias (co-creator,
producer, composer & creator/composer of Global Zero's "1000 Suns") and
David Uslan (producer, co-founder COG1 Entertainment) combining
extraordinary talents and values have created a seemingly innocuous comic
book that shares a salient message with every Smart Phone user from North
America, to Europe and soon Asia (including China): if we do not learn
from our past mistakes, we are destined to make them again -- namely the
atomic bomb.
On July 4, 2009, deliberately on American Independence Day, Carnival
Comics released one of the first-ever digitally-delivered comic books to
the mobile world: "Atomic Dreams: The Lost Journal of J. Robert
Oppenheimer." The comic is first running on RIM Technology's Blackberry
and Google's Android, and will be followed by both Apple's iPhone and
Nokia next week. "Atomic Dreams" will mark the third-ever comic to be
delivered via Blackberry (the first two were also Carnival Comic
properties) and the first-ever on the Nokia. Additionally, Carnival
Comics has just been notified that "Atomic Dreams" will be the first-ever
digitally-delivered comic book in China, a launch that is expected next
month.
J. Robert Oppenheimer was a brilliant man and a father, yet he referred to
himself as "the destroyer of worlds." Did he know what he was creating
when he set forth to develop the atomic bomb? Did he fully understand the
scope of horror that he would unleash? "Atomic Dreams" filters through
Oppenheimer's inner torment and, in the most visual manner, appeals to
today's youth to take heed from the painful lessons of the past.
"People have taken notice," says producer Uslan of Wild and Elias' "Atomic
Dreams" creation, "from Hollywood studios that are lobbying to make this
comic book into a full length feature film, leading politicians on Capitol
Hill, to e-mails from young adults across the nation. The immediate
response is a powerful confirmation that we are not alone in wanting to
save our world and future. Jazan Wild and Jonathan Elias are creating more
than simply a story; they are stirring the cauldron of awareness."
