My first try at the ghost story comic book I wrote, Tales From The Shadow Talker. There were a number of things I liked about this first attempt but all in all it was verging too close to a realistic style, which is something I revert to when I'm uncertain of something. I get too tight. When I went back and redid it digitally, the results were far closer to what I wanted. I also felt the rhythm was a bit off here. It often takes a few tries to get something. Whenever I go back to the drawing board writing revisions are also almost always inevitable as well. No idea why that happens. You can see the revised first page here.
Right now I'm reading Dick Briefer's Frankenstein which is a wild fun collection of comics. Ben Towle sent me this link about it this morning. Interesting stuff!
