| | In terms of scaring the holy shit of jihadists it's a good idea. Think about it. Here's a ruthless superpowered pig who kills jihadists on site. I thought about what kind of Superhero would be perfect to take on jihadists and I came up with PigMan. Jihadists would rather kill human beings than be anywhere near a pig, and what adds to their fear of him, is that he wears a pigskin suit that jeapardizes their chances of ascending to 'paradise'. He's a post 9/11 version of Superman & Batman. Superman in his power and Batman in that his appearance engenders fear from the enemy. But he's ruthless compared to them. Since we're at war with the worst kind of killers, he
understands that killing them is the only way to deal with them.
My graphic novel The Infidel is about a counter jihadist cartoonist whose character is PigMan, which gets him onto the radar of the enemy. PigMan is a comic book within my graphic novel.
And the Question 'When Will Comics Take On Jihad' is answered 'When Pigs Fly' since comics have not taken on Jihad. I know that Frank Miller is working on a Batman vs. al Queda graphic novel titled 'Holy Terror Batman!' Even though Miller said that he's working on it on his own, apart from DC and is not even sure if they're going to publish it.
In WW2, Captain America made his debut by punching out Hitler on his first issue and comics didn't stop there, they were a great source of propaganda against the enemy of the day.
