Angie (2002) is my second
graphic novel and my longest work yet, as well as my first attempt in
black & white. Work on the final version of Angie started
immediately after finishing Trumps, and I did the entire novel very
quickly in the idle few months between high-school and the beginning of
my military service, but I actually came up with the story long before I
started Trumps, and the finished version of Angie you see here is a
third version of the script I wrote for it.
The first version of Angie was meant to be in color, but I think the b&w gives it a lot of power. It has a lot in common with Trumps in that it deals greatly with the line between reality and illusion, but it's intended to be much darker and more psychology-oriented, and I think the story is much more focused; the final version is, in fact, much more psychological than the original, which put more emphasis on the action and erotic side of the story. |
