Comic of the year ?

I think I just read the comic of the year. Once every while a comic finds true big commercial success, on quality-credit only. Some years ago we had Blankets, Local only made it halfway there (buy that book !), Blue Pills is on its way and now Daytripper is the one that deserves it's chance. Touching, inventive and pure. It's VERTIGO material, so don't even think twice.

Hope you like it as much as I did.

The Vault Chapter One: Marvin

Finally ! I made myself a newyears resolution in 2009 that I would draw one comic, whatever lenght, each year. For 2010 my aim was to draw the first chapter of a new project of mine, "The Vault", for which the story arc is finished and some chapters have been written as well.

Since I only can pick up drawing occassionally, I tried a new approach, which was to draw all images seperately and then merge them together afterwards. That gave me a lot of satisfaction while I was drawing, but I couldn't really see the way it was going until I finished all the drawings and photoshop it together. I don't think the approach will stick.

Anyhow, 20 days after my deadline, I present you with The Vault Chapter One: Marvin. Hope you like it - I learned a lot by making it.
