FutureGen Comics, LLC was conceived in 2013 by Keith when he was growing Kero International. Keith and his wife Robin were landscaping at their home when they saw a neighbor and his friend running away from a girl who was crying as she lagged behind. My wife asked her what was wrong and she said “they won’t let me see their comic book. They say comic books are for boys.” My wife told her not to worry. We’ll make her a comic book and we did. The girl’s mother loved the story and allowed the girl to have it. The next day, the two boys knocked on the door and asked if we could make them a superhero comic book.We’ve been turning people into superheroes ever since.
