"Menschen sind seltsam. Da saßen wir, nichts anderes als die vollständige Ausrottung unserer Spezies und den Tod vor Augen, und doch tranken wir und freuten uns und spielten Karten."

- Der Krieg der Welten (Graphic Novel), Thilo Krapp

The Rudolph Dirks Award sent me these stickers that can be put on my ‘War of the Worlds‘ graphic novel since it won the award for best literary adaption. Don‘t they look nice with all that gold? :-) Plus, there came a poster which retailers and comic book dealers can put on display that lists all the winners.

Lovely October is here with its busy event schedules! For instance our ‘Reading Panels' live reading of my ‘War of the Worlds‘ graphic novel at Projekttheater Dresden on the 22nd at 8 pm (tickets: www.reservix.de)! This will be huge fun when four comic book artists, amongst them me, will do a reading of my comic live on stage, with sound effects and all! Whoever wanted to hear and see a scenic presentation of the story and science fiction in comic books in general can‘t miss :-). So come all! Here‘s to the facts: Sunday Oct. 22nd, 8 pm Projekttheater Dresden, Louisenstraße 47 01099 Dresden With fellow comic artists Katja Klengel, Adrian Vom Baur, Tim Gaedke and me :-). See you there!

In the Storm

  The main character of my War of the Worlds graphic novel adaption is in distress in this scene that I´m currenmtly working on.

Finished the Preliminary Drawings of Book I

The preliminary drawings for book I of my adaption are finished! Now comes book II, "Earth beneath the Martians". To not confuse anybody: Book I and II are all in one book, it´s just that Wells made that allocation, obviously to dramatize the whole plot (book I tells the events building up to the Martian invasion - and it´s success -, book II the events after the Martians conquered England). I want to stick to that arrangement also in my adaption, to make it a bit more like books of that period itself, and in respect of Wells and the original.
