#crowded comic

Crowded is the best comic trade ever, nothing else to say about that. This actually got featured in Issue 7 and it is currently my greatest achievement.

Vita & Charlie: Physical Interaction

With all the physical action in Crowded #9, it got me wondering how the creative team generally depicted the Vita an Charlie when they came into physical contact with one another. The above is not a definitive catalog of such moments, there were a couple that I couldn’t really clip well or are just repetitive (Vita really drags Charlie by the arm a lot,) but you get the point. If it’s Vita engaging, she’s generally dragging Charlie out of or through danger. If it’s Charlie she’s trying to get Vita to loosen up.

It also gave me an excuse to try making something more collage like, overall I like how the border for the Vita one came out. Charlie’s sequences tended to be more dialog driven so it’s less collage-like.

Ro Stein and Ted Brandt continue to be just amazing with facial expressions and laying out action sequences and physical comedy. Triona Farrell’s coloring also is the secret glue to everything.
