My Unpublished Comics – Rough Sketches from ’97 to ’99A comic book draft

I’m uploading something that few people have seen.

From 1997 to 1999, I was trying to make a comic book. I knew someone back then, and we were both trying to create our own comic. He liked to write, and I liked to draw. He wanted to do something on a professional level, while I clearly wanted to do a small‑press, self‑published comic. I wasn’t confident enough in my drawing skills to make a comic and seek a publisher. I wanted to start small and develop my skills along the way.

So, daily, I focused most of my time on drawing my “serious” comic book pages. And during the quiet hours — when I was working in a traditional Greek coffee shop — I drew my small‑press comic pages.

The Pages

The following seven pages were the first issue. These are rough sketches, which I preferred to do as a plotline instead of writing it out.

The images after that are the first three pages from the second issue.

Unfortunately, neither of my attempts ended up being published.

A Kind Request

Please be kind. I know these pages are not the best to look at — or the easiest to read if you don’t know Greek.

Hopefully, I will use these characters again at some point in the future.

Thank you for looking.
