“How Mirka Got Her Sword,” Page 27

On May 21, 2008 · 6 Comments

I may have overdone panel 3, but gosh it was fun to draw. 🙂 That panel — and really this entire sequence — was very influenced by Dave Sim’s comic book “Cerebus,” and in particular “Church and State.”

    This is a great comic. I love it. (Discovered by Wasted Talent’s nice review).

    As a Sephardic Jew, the world of this comic is familiar, yet foreign. I kind of understand how you, as a non religious artist, has to go through – you’re learning new things every time.

    I love fantasy, and to see this put into the familiar Orthadox world, well, it totally mixes up your perception.

    Once again, this is amazing work, and I am going to recommend this comic to my friends.

    The third panel made me think of the dream again, her face seems to be all distorted. Where’s her bat?

    Thanks so much, Lauren! I’m glad you’re enjoying it, and please do recommend it — that’s the best sort of praise!

    Yochva, she put her bat down — you can see it in the background of panel five. But I probably should have made that clearer.
