Editing old comics
Parallel to the Murmeli strips, I also continue to work on my other comics that I produced in the late 70s and early 80s.
At the moment I’m working on the second fantasy short story, which dates back to the period with ‘The Devil of the Sevs-Sea’.
Back then, I added the speech bubbles with text directly into the drawings. The text doesn’t look good and making the bubbles work better in the age of digital lettering.
So I completely retouched out the bubbles. In the case of ‘Servants of the Night’, I also did a lot of hatching, which is quite disturbing when you colour digitally. So it wasn’t a ‘one at a time’ job, because I removed the hatching at the same time.
In the meantime, all 3 pages are already finished. The rest of the work will be done by hand. I have already printed the pages on drawing paper and will fill in the gaps drawings.
More when I’ve finished 😉
