@chicarelli1983 I’m glad the base of the story helped or helps you, if that is what it is? I’m sure you understand that we all suffer through tragedies in our lives at different points in time that define us all in different way. From the source of our perception and how we see the world to, our level of sensitivity and emotional states of being which all in turn affects our sense of self-consciousness and that of others.

@TheRealErikDaraven The comic was based off of my own deepest personal tragedy and fall in to madness; over my biggest lost at the age of 14 1/2. Hay, am I right in saying that some wounds never heal, you just learn to live with it?.

[chicarelli1983]

@TheRealErikDaraven very true man.and yes the crow helped me in many ways when i was in my teens..like u..growing up i experienced and saw to many things that most people would never be able to handle or imagine and like u said,its the way u overcome and come out of those things that define who u are and make u a stronger person.some wounds never heal,but u learn to live with them.thanks for responding and i will be picking up your book when its released.im sry for your loss man.take care

I have a “PUBLISHER” FOR THE TRUTH OF TAMMIE AND MY LOVE FOR HER. The is titled “I Want To Be Loved, The Way You Want To Be LOVE” The true story of the man behind the Crow. I’m so happy…that people will learn about Tammie and will know she once live and, was here with us that loved her. And, now she will be remembered by every one that reads my book. That is all for now, the book be out in the next few months.

The movie bared little resemblance to the comic book.

[TheRealErikDaraven]

Your right, good good for you...Ok! OK!

Nice jacket BTW. Happy anniversary of your idea.

[marvkevinnancy3]

Oh. Okay now I get it. Your last video was a little missleading, but now I get it. You are the real life Eric Draven. It a was your idea but O Barr pretty much took your idea. That´s what I myself am afraid of, telling someone my ideas for comics, or movies, because they could rip you off.

[TheRealErikDaraven]

Write or type out your idea or ideas onto paper and have it notarized, then mail it to yourself and keep it in a safe place (safety deposit box). This is what is known as a poor man's patent. Or you could file the discovery date with the patent office. "I do this with some of my artwork and ideas now days."

[marvkevinnancy3]

Sounds like a solid plan but how do you get it notorized.

[TheRealErikDaraven]

Your local County Clerk's office and some of the larger banks used to provide the service.

Okay thanx
