Greetings… Bredren and Sistren
Welcome to the official site of Dread & Alive®, the first superhero comic book series featuring a Jamaican as the protagonist. Created and written by Nicholas Da Silva and published through ZOOLOOK, LLC, the story follows Drew McIntosh and his heroic exploits as he battles the dark forces of babylon empowered with a sacred amulet created by the ancient Maroons of Jamaica. Dread & Alive is the first multimedia series spanning comic books, novels and music.
First published in 1997 as an original short story and inspired by the music of reggae legends like the honorable Bob Marley, Black Uhuru, Burning Spear, Steel Pulse and Third World, Dread & Alive blurs the line between comics and music, offering an original storyline that meshes cultural fact with fiction accompanied by the conscious sounds of today’s reggae music. So Jah Seh!
“New territory in the collusion of art and Jamaican music.”
