Owen's explains his graphic novel; "The Delco Years was written in 1999 and put away for 21 years. Then in the fall of 2020, for some uknown reason (COVID-19), I started rewriting and added illustrations." Up front Owens apologizes to any and all he has libeled in this novel (graphic). "I'm ADD-HD and pay AT&T an extra ten dollars a month for the "HD." Any connection to people living or dead is probably intended, but most likely purely by happenstance. This story is true except for the parts I made up." But remember, a Delco car battery will last five years, we call these the DELCO YEARS." 160 pages that are illustrated.
