WEEK 11 - COMICS AS CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE

WEEK 11 - COMICS AS CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE

My comic page is about an old retired movie star who wants to switch bodies with a young actress by way of homemade witchcraft ritual. The old woman is tormented by time and has been dreading the thought of dying and being forgotten. She's so obsessed with her golden years that she would even sell her soul to the devil just to re-attain her former glory in a new era. The poor and innocent victim we see laying bound in a pentagram at the mercy of this crazy old woman who is about to perform a satanic ritual. I decided to make the comic black and white with a a little bit of red to kind of bring back the nostalgia of her golden years. I also thought dark colours would fit the dark theme. A little bit of red for emphasis her fingernails to represent vanity and the pentagram to represent how that is tied to evil.  In my mind, the story continues with the old woman unsuccessfully switching their bodies and instead summoning a demon that wants to devour her soul.
