My comic book!

9/2/2020

I was looking through old boxes of photo albums, looking for photos of long ago trips to put in the photo galleries of my book 'One Man Gets The Sack' when I found this awesome comic strip I had created when I was 13 years old.

I even attempted a second issue in book 2! And the artwork style was influenced by the new style being pioneered by Marvel at the time - of breaking through the little box panels and having splash panels all over the page.
​And I added a new character too...named after my brother!

Here's where I broke free of the grid and experimented with splash panels

It seems that the pressures of being writer, illustrator and colorist got to me then... the plot was clearly going downhill! Creative juices seem to have dried up at that point...
​
​Alas...I abandoned comic creation after this. A pity ... but I did continue to dabble in drawing in that notebook.

I seem to have been experimenting with political cartoons! This seems to be about the Hindu Muslim unrest faced by the Narasimha Rao government - the cartoon was called 'Mr Rao's dilemma'  - so I assume the figure on the right was supposed to be PV Narasimha Rao...

Face cheeks and butt cheeks both got a beating here...

then some faces ... maybe this was supposed to be Murli Manohar Joshi? 
Picture
This was probably supposed to be V P Singh

I never did enter the art field... or become any kind of artist... But I did draw the illustrations for my book covers! The covers of the 'One Man Goes Backpacking' series were drawn by me!
