RODGERS Liam

He worked as an animator and layout artist for film and television before becoming a cartoonist. He was associated with Cloudscape Comics Society.

Liam who is autistic, created the autistic character called “Cognition”. In the origin story  the character (no regular name) is attracted to a cave where he dons a mask and is drawn into an “astral plane”. A super natural being gives him special powers through the mask. His autism is necessary if he is to use the mask. Interestingly, he does not go off to fight villains but instead saves firefighters who are trapped by a forest fire.

The ending suggests that this episode was to be the first of a series.
