Karen Gordon – Chapter 1 By Josh Ralls It was Sunday evening when Karen Gordon’s aunt, also Jack Miller’s mother, called. Mrs. Miller: “Hello, Hon!” Karen: “Hello, Aunt Sarah!” Mrs. Miller: “How are you doing?” Karen: “I’m doing great.” Mrs. Miller: “How’s your job at the museum?” Karen: “It’s great! I love history.” Karen and Mrs. Miller often call each other on the phone and chat. Karen’s father, George, is Mrs. Miller’s brother. The Millers and the Gordons are all very close. They get together for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. Karen often calls Jack as well, or e-mails him or chats with him online. Mrs. Miller: “Did you know that Jack is working on his own comic book series?” Karen: “Oh yes! He said it was going to be a superhero team comic like Justice League of America or X-Men.” Jack is an artist who does work in comics. He has always been into art, and his family has been very supportive of his talent and his decision to become a graphic artist.
