The Fain Theater, the Coosa River and its wildlife, the classic downtown Wetumpka buildings and the meteor crater all inspired StarFell — a comic book set in the 1950s and 1960s.
Michael Uhlir is a child of the 80s and grew up a comic book fan and is using the backdrop of Wetumpka to create his first comic book series.
