Corvin - and... Action!!


Corvin time again and finally some action is starting to take place in the presumably action-packed story. No use in making promises but I intend to concentrate on this project in the near future.

Panel 1
Borka: Now-now, may it be that something happened on the way that you sirs prefer to keep secret?
Pip: Lovely young lady, I swear to Saint Patrick that we are not hiding anything from you!
Panel 2
Borka: Saint Patrick? I've never heard of him. Is he a saint of Milan?
Colin: No, he's the patron saint of our real home country. Our parents came to Milan from Ireland, a place far away West. You see, we are cous...
Panel 3
Kaspar (dashes in): No one makes a move! Give us all the money, valuables and women!
Panel 4
Kaspar: Come on guys! ... What the heck are you doing?!
Thug: We got stuck, boss!
Panel 5
Kaspar: Come in one by one, you morons!
Panel 6
Kaspar: Have you got a death wish, dandy?

Suspicious Minds & memories of a comics festival




(Decided to rewrite this post as most of its content disappeared due to the massive inconveniences www.blogger.com experienced last week. Seems like I have waited in vain for its restoration...)
So here's the second love child of my recent civil rights activism and ongoing comics activity. For the first one, check out the Gyöngyöspata post below. This is a naive little one, suggesting trust instead of suspicion through a roma boy - non-roma girl love story.
Normally I don't draw comics for Elvis's songs but this time I was inspired by a workshop linked to our Comics Festival, where the special guests from the Netherlands, Finland and Estonia paid tribute to the King. Why here and now? Well, Elvis recently became a honorary citizen of Budapest, which fact I'm sure he deeply appreciates wherever he resides now. The final product was printed superquickly and was on sale at festival, but you can also purchase it here: http://www.nyitottkonyv.hu/konyveink/konyv/161/Elvis_Budapest
The festival itself was good craic again - fun fact: it was held on my former university campus which turned into a bar and concert venue since I graduated - here are a couple of photos just for a feel of the atmosphere:

The Comics Battle is raging - they took no prisoners :)
The best comics artists of 2010: Róbert Vass, Zoltán Fritz and Gergely Oravecz
I had the pleasure of running the Comics Association's stall for most of the day
(This is clearly not as cool as the original post. Well, that's life, ain't it? Things get lost, broken etc...)
