MASSIVE COMIC BOOK UPDATE

In the last two months, I worked on an eleven page comic for Scholastic. It was about the assassination of president Garfield. The book is for a reading intervention program intended for high school students. This comic is part of a larger book titled Assassinations: Our Murdered Presidents and each chapter will have a unique style unto itself.









Here are the inked pages. Everything was inked digitally using a simple hard brush. As you can see below, the final pages had various panel changes.








And here are a few more progress shots of the Gavrilo Princip novel The Spark.

Hey Tin, I knew it was you when they sent me one of the pages for reference! Great job on this.
Did they want you to use comic sans?
