It has been quite sometime since the words “Zap!”, “Bam!”, “Pow!”, and “Ka-Boom!” in comics were replaced by their electronic counterparts — the special effects and the sound mixing — in superhero-animation-fantasy movies. But the good old art form has not been lost entirely as was evident from the encouraging participation in a recent Comic-Con-supported workshop in the city, the first of its kind here.
Organised by Comic-Con India and Saarang, the cultural festival of IIT Madras, the workshop saw a large turnout. The workshop was conducted by renowned comic creator and illustrator Abhijeet Kini of Butterfingers in Tinkle and Angry Maushi of fame.
A fun, and casual session, much like the convention itself, the workshop saw many enthusiasts of comics coming forward with their work.
Mr. Abhijeet Emphasised on the importance of script-art harmony and he detailed how comic-making has changed over the years.
