In 2010, an obscure, 32-year-old socially awkward, unemployed African American Army veteran, who had been kicked out of the service and was living with his father in the South Carolina countryside while facing federal pornography charges, spent a significant portion of his life's savings on the filing fee to run for U.S. Senate in the Democratic primary to challenge incumbent Tea Party kingmaker Jim DeMint. Alvin Greene didn't campaign, he didn't even have a Website, and no one knew who he was. Until - and exactly how is still being disputed - he won.This is his story, in comics form.
