Old pages

Here's an old page that I did when I was still working out what format I'd do with format and style. Some remnants of the layout concept for this page still exist in the more up-to-date version but I've had to tweak certain parts of it since. Don't know if this page makes sense standing alone without the rest of the comic to give it context.

The funny part about adapting a prose piece into comic form is that you have to scrap a lot of metaphors that are in the words. The metaphors are, more often than not, being conveyed by the images. Consequently the words become a little more bland ... but the hope is that the whole piece comes alive with that ... chemical reaction between the images and the words that always seems to happen with sequential art.
