My Comic Journey

This new excitement started when I got task to develop a print ad. I realize I know nothing about comic language, I was just being smartass when creating its headlines. Then I ask my CD for reference. He brought me tons of them. Hehe…not exactly, just a few books.

After I read some of them, I found something interest me, its language (what else?;p). Some of them are quite wit, some straight forward and simple, and some are ambiguous and layered.

So I told my CD I want to continue understanding the language, although my task to develop print ad were pending ‘til June. He kinda respected that and brought me where to buy the comics. I looked for Batman, but can’t find a good one. So I just bought any of them base on my CD recommendations, and I chose this one,

DAREDEVIL: YELLOW. Writer: Jeph Loeb with Artist: Tim Sale.

I felt little bit gusto flowing when I start open its plastic wrap in the car on the way back to the office. A shocking Ad for Wolverine Origin behind the cover stopped me. Wow, this Ad can be use for a high-calcium milk. Such an enjoyment.

Onto the next page.  

A full page of Daredevil rolls in the air with some thoughts in his mind and a heart that being broken: “Just when I think it’s going to get easier, I close my eyes and I see you in my arms. It’s as if a hole were torn open in the center of my chest. After a while, it starts to close up and someone has a laugh that sounds like you or wears a perfume that smells like you and it tears the hole wide open again. I don’t feel like eating. I find it hard to concentrate. I can’t do my job, Karen. I can’t live my life.”

Yikes! That surely grabbed my attention.

My CD said reading this one is like reading a novel. I might be agreed on that. But for now, let me just enjoy this new journey of mine, will you? Or maybe anyone want to join me? I’ll be pleased….
