Brett Andrew Cantrell, a native of Lubbock, Texas, enjoys the gifts of creativity in writing and drawing. To create an avenue to voice his discontent about our crumbling society, he has crafted a superhero and a story that will compel patriotism in every American. He draws readers back to the heart of the Constitution and the values that made the United States of America a great nation in his comic book, “The American vs. Amabo.”
Brett had never been a political person until he witnessed the country disintegrate in front of his eyes. Since2012, he wanted to create a patriotic hero who genuinely symbolizes the Constitution, hard workers, law-abiding citizens, and Americans who care about the country.
The American is a hero who stands for all races, and he represents the colors red, white, and blue. The American is a protector who stands up to an unlawful president and a dishonest administration bent on political gain, whose minions would trample on unwitting Americans. He does not identify as a Democrat, Republican, or Libertarian, and he is not a member of any political party. The patriotic mystery man defends the underprivileged and protects the helpless while upholding the American Constitution.
The book brings in nostalgia, especially for avid comic readers of the 20th Century. Brett personally designed his characters, and his illustrations are classic cartoons with the panels laid in basic square grids, often full of more dialogue than imagery. More so, Brett captures the heart of patriotism and amalgamates it with his creativity to produce a book that will entertain and inspire.
