Miranda was shy as a child and even more shy as a teenager, always hiding behind her long fringe.
I’m not a comic book artist but I do love to draw and I do have a lot of imagination.
So if I have an idea I draw it and along the way I might build a story.
The following drawing was done in that way. I had the idea of two characters, I brought them together, started the drawing and along way the plot started to thicken.
I small drawing with a small story
enjoy!
When members of Super Force found him he said one word “Atlas”!
They brought the giant to Greece, the land of the Titans of the ancient myths. With no memories of his past he lived in mount Parnitha. He could not adjust yet to a normal life in a city.
Mrs Ninjaki through her connections found clothes of a specific fabric that would fit him. She knitted him a scarf.
My love for Uncanny X-Men
I’m a big fan of the X-Men so l was excited when l heard that an all new Uncanny X-Men series was coming out. The only problem was that l did not know when!
Two days ago l while I was in London I found out that 4 issues had already been published!!!
By chance I was in Soho and I knew that Gosh! Comics was just around the corner.
There I found the first two issues, when I asked for the rest I was informed that issue three was already sold out and that the fourth one was coming out the next day.
I explained that I live in Greece and soon I would be going back so it was so kind of them to offer to keep a copy of issue four and if I was lucky enough maybe they will have an issue three.
Next day I went and GOSH issue 3 & 4 were there waiting for me.
I’m such a happy comic book fan!
Finding Comic Books Everywhere
Visiting Morocco was a unique experience, there is so much to see, you can’t get enough you just want to see more.
Staying though in a Medina did not give the opportunity and the time to look around for comics.
In Fez though I did find in a small bookstore a couple of very old hardcover anthologies. They featured comics like Tarzan and other comics which originate from UK. They were translated in Arabic and the pages were coloured in blue, orange and black & white, a colouring which was used in Greece as well in the past. Didn’t like them so much although they might’ve had some collectors value.
The last day though at the airport I found in the duty free a comic book…l do believe everyone loves a Disney comic, especially if it features Scrooge Mac Duck!
“Wide Screen Comics & Manga” comic book store in Amman Jordan
I’m visiting Amman in Jordan and I’m really enjoying it. I was also so glad that I found a comic book store there .
The store is called “Wide Screen Comics & Manga” and its not that far from downtown Amman. It has been around about 4 years.
It has a good solid collection of comics that would satisfy a comic books appetite and merchandise.
I had a chat with one of the two owners Osama and bought a comic book which is from a Jordanian artist.
watch the following video to listen in on what Osama and I chatted about!
