Here's the title page of "The Microwave Radio-Frequencies", a manga-like comic of me that could never exist.

As you all know, I have split personality and my female personality, Rebekah, is real. However, we both share a such a history that, according to people's opinion (people that met and dealt with me, Joshua, in the real life), it should be told whether in a book or in a comic. So, the idea of a novel about my own life, but mixed with fictional events, appeared in my own mind by first time in the year 1996, at age 5:

Alas, when I was a little kid, the only language I was able to speak was Spanish. And, despite I already could read and write properly (like an adult), I had no way to write a book beyond writing down some scarce, basic lines on common notebooks using a common pencil or, in the best case, an ordinary ballpoint pen. Besides, I abandoned the project in the year 1999 due to personal issues in my life (unlike "The Beta Rays", all what I have to re-build "The Microwave Radio-Frequencies" are my own memories, whose accurate dates are hard to remember).

But I decided to rescue and continue the project in the year 2002, after a series of weird events that made me to decide converting them in a comic. Then, I was 11 years old (winter). But I suddenly realized that making lots of drawings would be too slow and ever counterproductive, compared with making a simple text with some illustrations. So, "The Microwave Radio-Frequencies" started to grow up and develop as text, like any novel from then on and until the year 2007.

On the Spring of the year 2006, when I was enjoying the highest peak of development of my drawing technique and, therefore, the money I earned selling erotica written and drawn by myself (home-made, amateur comics; a secret project of me executed on the sly) at the junior high school (2003-2006, ages 12-15), I decided to convert "The Microwave Radio-Frequencies" to a comic (since I have never seen a real Japanese manga in my life, I decided to take the American comic as basis). Alas, a series of unfortunate events in the rest of the year 2006 and the whole year 2007 delayed the development of the project and I could never was able to sell any comic of this, so before being forced to get rid of all my artwork on Autumn 2007 (age 16), I had drawn about 700 pages and about 20 (probably 21) title pages using ballpoint pens only (using the linear hatching and the cross-hatching shading techniques). The one you are watching here was the very last one.

On this drawing, you can see Random, Rebekah's alter ego, getting ready to her "Last Stand", which happened in a comic-con. But not for fighting against cosplayers or something like that, but rather to join the comic-con as one of them... as Rebekah (trap mode), not as Random. Exposing herself that way, without the mask that warranties her female appearance and voice, will give her enemies to take an advantage...

The drawing shows Random stretching her fishnet stocking (before taking it off) inside a room where you can change your clothes, and that's why there is a mirror alongside her.

The episode of this title page would be about the reason which Random and Rebekah together get retired, letting Joshua (me) alone. A betrayal from someone that both Joshua and Rebekah used to love and the "sudden" arrival of old enemies from the junior high school that realized about Rebekah/Random's secret (Rebekah lives inside a male body, and Random is her alter ego) that caused the worst defeat that Random had ever at just age 16. A defeat she would never forget (and me either, as this is based on something that happened in my real life).

Returning to the main theme, if you watch carefully the drawing, you will notice this is a remake. Yes, I rebuilt by heart something that I already had drawn in the year 2007 (on Summer, just before losing my drawing skills). The original drawing was much better (at that point of my lifetime I already was able to draw in a much more realistic and dramatic way). That drawing wasn't originally thought to be used as a comic's title page, but it rather depicted just a sort of "thing I wanted to do" (my last crossplay at a comic-con, at age 16). Alas, since my family (specially my own mother) hates that I draw and I write and they hate all what I draw, I had to destroy, give away or sell all the drawings I had gotten to keep with me after the "2006 's little civil war" in my hometown in order to preserve my secret life and that's how the original drawing passed away. The project "Microwave Radio-Frequencies" was abandoned again.

Later, in the year 2013 (on Spring, age 21), along with "The Beta Rays", I decided to rescue and continue again "The Microwave Radio-Frequencies" as text again, starting from "Random's Last Stand" in the year 2007. That's how I could overcome what I lived in that age. And this time I added a new feature: Cross-overs. Cross-overs with any other character from any other world/universe/multiverse.

Now, after 12 years of that embarrassing, disgraceful event I had to face, I decided to share with you all the remake of this drawing, made entirely with a single ballpoint pen.
