Thumbs up Epilepsy Awareness Comic Book


Please see my website for my Epilepsy Awareness Comic Book. There are free downloads of the comic. Lets help spread Epilepsy Awareness to children. Please pass this along and possibly make an entry of this. As Epilepsy Awareness month is approaching this would be a great entry for a blog.

I have worked with the Epilepsy Foundation of America and othe Epilepsy Foundations in the United States.

Hi ToteMan, welcome to CWE.

One minor quibble - your comic states "One person in 1,000 has epilepsy and one in 100 will have a seizure in their lifetime."

You statistics appear to be off by a factor of 10.

Thank you for the correction. It looks to be a simple typo. I will make the correction in the next printing. We are holding an Art Auction in November at the Great Allentown Mega Show to raise money for a new printing. See the NEWS section on my site. Hope you enjoyed the book otherwise.
