Peace Posse

    (Mellon Bank, 1996)
™ and ©1996 Mellon Bank

PAAN (Philadelphia Anti-Drug/Anti-Violence Network) was created to provide community safety and to develop positive alternatives for youth. This program and this comic book were created to promote peace among youth of all ages; and they show children the results of violence, gun possession and gun use. The idea of using a comic book to present the messages of peace, non-violence and making healthy choices is expressed through the character Cool-Mel. Cool-Mel represents every individual who teaches about empathy, peace and non-violence. Each character experiences real life issues that many children are faced with today. A group of youths known as the ‘Peace Posse’ is committed to solving problems non-violently. Every story highlight emphasizes the need for peace and peaceful solutions in violent situations.
