    Spc. James L. Griffin, Headquarters and Headquarters Co., 16th Special Troops Battalion, 16th Sustainment Brigade, has used his art degree and training to fulfill a unique personal goal during his 15-month deployment to Contingency Operating Base Q-West, Iraq, to create a graphic novel. He finished his pen-and-ink graphic novel "The Warbling Cartel," for stress relief and artistic growth, he said. "Part of my impetus for starting the book was because I knew I was going to be out here for a while and didn't want to let my artistic skills languish," said Griffin, a native of Reynoldsburg, Ohio, on his first deployment.
