 IN
THE second decade of the twentieth century in the Turkish village of Efkere, a
six year old Armenian boy called Stepan Haytayan watched as his father was
wrestled away from him and tied with rope to a line of fellow men – everyday,
working, well-meaning men – by Turkish soldiers of the Ottoman Empire. The young
boy tried to kiss his father, but was pushed aside in the dirt by gun-toting
soldiers. He never saw his father again. Soon afterwards he discovered the body
of his grandmother amongst many corpses of friends, relatives and neighbours.
Soldiers had callously tried to throw her body into water to dispense of any
evidence, but her hair became entangled in thorns and lay there in the sun
overnight.
The young boy and his brother tried to untangle their grandmother, but her head
became separated from her body. Eventually they freed it and threw the head into
the water, before they were rounded up, separated and put into orphanages. Soon
afterwards the boy discovered the grave of his brother and tried to dig him up
with his bare hands, before soldiers again intervened: “Forget it, he’s dead.” |

 Wizard get five questions (and answers) with John Dolmayan about comics,
movies and the launch of his new online comics site.
Rock and roll fans may recognize the name of this drummer from the
multi-platinum rock band System of a Down, but he’s also on his way to comic
superstardom. Later this year, the 34-year-old Dolmayan plans to launch
Torpedocomics.com , an ambitious online
comic book retail and community site.
And he’ll also be hitting the road with
his comic book-inspired drum kit—adorned with art from the likes of Jim Lee,
Bernie Wrightson and Bill Sienkiewicz (as seen in
Wizard #181) to various conventions, including Wizard World Los Angeles on
March 16-18!

John Dolmayan's sick drumkit, very nerdy interview!

NERD…DORK…GEEK…these are words we've all used before in one way or another to describe someone who we feel isn't really a part of the society we live in. Sure
they're smart and all and we ask them to fix our computers from time to time, but they have an air to them that really provokes a feeling of animosity
especially amongst metal fans.
However, our concepts of dorks, geeks, and nerds has changed irrevocably in the
last 10 years or so. Geeks, nerds, etc were the kids who played Dungeons & Dragons, read comic books, played video games, taped their glasses together, and
called each other by code names or 'alter egos'. Now some of our greatest heroes and influences are nerds and geeks! Samuel L Jackson is a huge comic book nerd,
same with Quentin Tarantino. Bands such as Mudvayne and My Chemical Romance have members that are huge comic book nerds. So what is a geek then? What is a nerd?
Does it even matter anymore?!
The answer is a resounding NO! Just ask John Dolmayan, drummer of System of a Down. A rabid comic book fan and collector for the last 12 years, much of John's pre-System of a Down life was spent buying, selling, and
collecting comic books and toys to make ends meet. He still sells his comics at several comic conventions in California including the wildly popular San Diego
Comic Con International.
