Made a Supergirl drawing today. I used pencil on paper, scanned it and coloured digitally.

I think I prefer the crop.

I read alot of comics, but not very many super hero books. So, when I read Supergirl woman of tomorrow a few years back, it blew me away.

So, there was some excitement and trepidation about the film of the same title.

After all the smart mouth dialogue, the new Supergirl film misssea the central thesis of the comic: the ability to give unconditional kindness to others, when your own trauma gives you no reason to be so. I'd go so far to say the Supergirl Characterisation and especially the ending of the movie are the antithesis of everything the book strives to show us.

What a curious painting, with all it's "twins" and mirroring.

RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

Reblogging in honor of Marjane Satrapi, one of THE great graphic novelists. Her comic Persepolis was a crucial text for shaping my belief that comics can deeply explore identity, culture, politics, and history.

She "died of sadness".

That is the saddest thing of all
