       "Flores captures the surveillance video's contents in a gritty, noirish, black-and-white illustrative style reminiscent of Charles Burns, Daniel Clowes and Raymond Pettibon. But the 31-year-old says his immediate influences are more mainstream—Jack Kirby, Dave Gibbons and George Perez—with a "clean" and documentary-like style placing his genre as creative nonfiction. "I want these stories to be remembered, so that's why I chose [to make] them," Flores says. "Although, it's not journalism; you should actually read the articles they came from.""



The Death of Kelly Thomas

"I wanted to make a comic about something that was relevant to me and my community," says comic book artist Felipe Flores. "I spend just about all of my time in Fullerton, so I was able to see the impact that the Kelly Thomas murder had made." 
Flores heads Trabajo Press, the La Mirada-based indie cassette tape label turned DIY zine. It released "The Death of Kelly Thomas" this month. The comic book is striking in how evocative the strips retell the story of what happened that fateful encounter on July 5, 2011 from the Slidebar call to the Fullerton police to the brutal beating Thomas suffered by them afterward. -OC WEEKLY
