her own potential for violence In less subtle hands the character could have been deeply depressing but Dillonrsquos delicate style carries the reader with Nao as she searches for peace through meditation friendship and love alongside a cast of equally well-rounded characters Punctuating Naorsquos story is a surreal Japanese fairytale of a half-man-half-tree boy conscripted into a violent war which runs parallel to the main story and shares common themes of desire and sacrifice

story he tells in this book pretty much Dahmer began killing upon graduation from high school at which point he also dropped out of touch with Backderf and his circle thus closing Derfrsquos window on his darkening world

But while My Friend Dahmer abhors Dahmerrsquos crimes it also does him and his victims the courtesy of never saying what they are No body counts no grim stories of the homophobic cops who returned a nude wounded underage boy whorsquod escaped Dahmerrsquos clutches to his eventual killer before making jokes to their dispatcher about getting de-loused no gruesome accounts of body-part altars and DIY trepanation attempts The endnotes in the backmatter deliver the basic facts but in the comic itself he consigns his old friendrsquos crimes to the void perhaps the most empathetic thing he could possibly do with them

The story Backderf chooses to tell is one of uncontrollable urges At one point he describes them in the purple terms of mass-market true-crime paperback back-cover blurbs as otherizingly and alienatingly as you please lsquoWhat spawned this perverse sexual hunger What deep fetid part of his psyche gurgled up this miscreant desire so powerfully voracious it immediately devoured him wholersquo But immediately before that he makes the direct connection between Dahmerrsquos necrophilia and his own irresistible

The implicit connection Backderf draws between all these things is that Dahmer couldnrsquot help how he felt about dead men any more than Derf could help how he felt about pretty girlsrsquo rear ends or than his mother could help having fits What they all could control is how they responded to them or to anything else Thatrsquos where Backderfrsquos real anger is directed at the choice of Dahmerrsquos parents to abandon their son ndash first emotionally and then quite literally leaving him to live by himself in their house as they went their separate ways following an acrimonious divorce ndash and at the apparent choice of high-school teachers and

Tools of the Trade

PROCREATE ndash A MINI TUTORIALProcreate is an inexpensive fast and fun drawing app for the iPad In this tutorial Irsquoll show you one possible way of using it

I like to use Procreate to take traditionally-drawn pen sketches and colour them In this tutorial Irsquoll take the sketch on the left and turn it into the painted picture on the right (Tap on images with a yellow border to see them full screen)

STARTING OFFStarting with a hand-drawn sketch the first step in the process is to fire up Procreate and place the sketch within it On the iPad with cameras this is easily done by taking a photo and inserting it on to the canvas within Procreate I then scale the image and place it to fill up as much of the canvas as possible

PJrsquos first published work waswith Fantagraphics in 1997 (HolyCross 3) with Malachy Coneyand he provided art for a storywith Mike Carey from Caliber in1997 He started working for2000 AD in 2001 (Judge DreddlsquoSinoMCitrsquo) and has been workingprofessionally since Hissubsequent work has includedfurther sEnts drawing JudgeDredd and The 86ers He hasalso drawn Rogue TrooperJohnny Woo and Thargrsquos FutureShocks Holden broke into theAmerican comic book marketwith the Image Comics miniMseries Fearless

Prior to his comics career hespent 20 years in the IT industry

PJ is on TwiGer and has a blog

PJ HOLDEN

This future soldier type was inspired by the great 2000AD character Rogue Trooper


One benefit to taking a photo rather than say scanning the image and cleaning it up on a computer is that you end up with lots of lovely texture and shading that can really add a lot to the colours

I set the layer with the photo to be a lsquomultiplyrsquo and ensure that it sits on top of all the other layers Multiply layers overlay

their colours on all of the lower layers (imagine a slightly see-through print on some acetate placed on top of other art) which means that it can darken colours applied below it but also that the black line art stays clear

Having placed the layer I now start with my first colour layer The technique here is to isolate each element of an image on to its own layer To do this I have a simple brush set up that Irsquove called the lsquoflatting brushrsquo

FLATTINGFlatting is the most boring but essential part of this method Irsquoll zoom in and out and work the brush at various sizes deleting paint that moves outside the lines Creating a layer and flatting each element will allow you later on to select those elements and go nuts with textures without them spilling out and ruining any other elements

Procreate allows you to editmany elements of its ownbrushes as well as create yourown Brushes are made up oftwo images ndash the brush shapeand the lsquograinrsquo The combinaIonof these is what gives Procreateits natural media look Mysimple flaMng brush is madeof a circle for the brush shapeplus an untextured square forthe grain

Tools of the Trade bull PJ Holden

ENDS infin

Before moving on to the next layer you should now lock the alpha channel This stops you from drawing outside the painted area You do this by tapping the little italicised lsquoarsquo on the layer from the layer drop-down And remember all of these colour flat layers should be below the line art (Yoursquoll figure out as you go that you donrsquot always need to be too careful with the lines depending on how you order the layers I usually build down ndash creating my layers below each previous flat layer)

Here Irsquove flatted the background and added snow ndash coloured red here purely so I can see it (white would leave me unsure of whether Irsquod coloured a bit of snow or just forgotten it) With the flatting done I can start the fun process of adding textures Irsquoll correct the snow from red to white and start to build up texture on the background layer

BUILDING UP As Procreate allows you to create your own sets of brushes (combining built-in brushes your own brushes and brushes built from the built-in set but altered) Irsquove done that with my most commonly used brushes

From here on in itrsquos just a matter of selecting layers

INFINITY 3 bull February 2013 bull 15 of 57

I tend to use a few specific toolsfor textures Procreate has abunch of useful defaults as wellas sets you can buy for $099each While Irsquoll occasionally callon one or two other brushes themain ones I use are

ENDS infin

(which if yoursquove followed along are actually separate elements of the picture for colouring) applying colours textures etc then moving on to the next layer

FINISHING OFF The final stage usually involves creating a simple layer on top of the line art to allow me to pick out some pure white highlights or in this case add some extra detail to the display on his helmet And thatrsquos it As with any art app there is no right way this is just my current methodology and like most things about drawing experimentation and change are key

Procreate is at the time of writing at version 16 ndash version 17 promises some great new features including many more layers (currently for high-resolution images it is limited to 16 layers 17 increases that to 28) as well as extra features for easy layer manipulation Version 17 will be a free upgrade if you have 16 infin

GOING DIGITALAWARD-WINNING DIGITAL COMICSAfter testing the waters of digital comics for a while now I set myself what should have been a reasonably simple goal read iPad versions of some of 2012rsquos best comics 2012 was the first year of the British Comic Awards but as a UK resident Irsquod already read many of the nominees The big American awards ceremonies on the other hand normally contain an array of obscure titles not readily available in the UK and that sounds like the kind of problem that should have a digital solution My methodology wasnrsquot flawless ndash I scanned through the winners of Ignatz Harvey and Eisner Awards in 2012 picked out the ones that appealed most to me and tried to buy digital copies

The Pterodactyl Hunters is billed as lsquoa story of sibling rivalry and family tradition in a rapidly changing worldrsquo and thatrsquos a pretty succinct description of a charming narrative that says a lot about progress and familial tensions in a setting that could

have degenerated into a joke in lesser hands The sketchy linework greytones and even the intimate setting all reminded me of the work of Dan Berry though Berryrsquos output is generally more heart-warming This tale of two competing brothers hoping to rid New York City of a pterodactyl threat is a compelling read but none of the characters stand out as being particularly likeable Instead this is a poignant story that would have had more punch

if only Irsquod been able to invest either positively or negatively in the characters Leach is a brilliant illustrator but just a good storyteller so Irsquom surprised to see that this won an Ignatz award My bias towards the British comic-book industry notwithstanding Pterodactyl Hunters was as good as many small press comics that I reviewed in 2012 but certainly not better

Dark Horse Presents won several awards throughout 2012 and rightly so because the eclectic and ambitious range of material contained within each issue would be unlikely to attract enough readers individually to succeed in the direct market of

brick-and-mortar comic-book stores My first thought when reading the anthology digitally however was what an odd stylistic decision Dark Horse have made to shrink their comic pages so that they donrsquot fill the iPad screen This annoying waste of space really detracts from their Comixology-defying app My biggest problem with Dark Horse Presents was that none of the strips gave any concession to new readers so as soon as one strip ended another would begin on the next page sometimes

without obvious titles or credits plunging me midway into a new story without any context or introduction to give me an idea of what Irsquod missed

First up from Dark Horse Presents is Finder Third World by Carla Speed McNeil Itrsquos gorgeous and has a very Spirited Away vibe but being chapter 16 I found the experience pretty baffling Gamma by Ulises Farinas and Erick Freitas tells the surreal tale of the possible redemption of a coward in a Wild West setting populated by garish Pokemon-inspired monsters Phil Stanford and Patric Reynoldsrsquo Crime Does Not Pay is good enough in an Ed Brubaker or Greg Rucka vein that Irsquoll be looking out for collected editions in future Caitlin R Kiernanrsquos Alabaster Boxcar Tales reads like Sandman meets Beasts of Burden with all the positive connotations that both series bring and Irsquod be tempted to buy future issues of Dark Horse Presents just to read more UXB by Colin Lorimer is a macabre dystopian fantasy that appealed to my darker sensibilities though again the lack of context made the story difficult to follow Overall Dark Horse Presents feels like a brilliant idea that loses something in the execution which could easily be fixed with some concession to new readers

At no point in my life has it ever felt like a good idea to confess that Irsquod never read any Love and Rockets so this seemed like a great opportunity to address the problem My feelings after finally reading this much-loved comic series were that I favour Gilbertrsquos stylised characters and cross-

quite a lot of the work of Terry Wiley The themes of family that run through Jaimersquos strips left me feeling like Irsquod arrived during the last series of a long-running soap opera whereas Gilbertrsquos strips about an actor and actress discussing their lives was both accessible and something that I could empathise with Both cartoonists are clearly very talented and Jaimersquos insistence on portraying real people with realistic proportions and believable motivations is to be celebrated but nonetheless itrsquos Gilbert whose work Irsquom going to go and track down in future Itrsquos never easy breaking into such a long-running series but Love and Rockets won me over effortlessly with New Stories 4 even without knowing the charactersrsquo back stories

Lizz Lunney this is a cute witty and offbeat collection of stories about flying dreams reincarnation and a monkey in a basement Tender and sincere these comics are easy to read and enjoy if a little insubstantial with a deceptively simple visual style thatrsquos childish and innocent but never sloppy or hurried I must be getting old because I canrsquot read comics like this now without wondering what exactly makes it so award-winning over everybody else around the world thatrsquos making equally witty and introspective comics Inoffensive suitable for all ages and surprisingly uplifting the monkey in the basement might not be real but that wonrsquot stop Corrine Mucha from believing in it and the power of belief underpins the whole collection Readers less cynical than I am will probably find a lot to love in these strips

CHERISH THE LOVE bull PERISH THE THOUGHT

As any arEst will agree it is alwaysdifficult returning to old work ThisparEcular story however ndash Cherish ndashhas always been one of my favouritesOr at least among those less reviled

In some ways I started out in comicsthrough being known as an art assistantto Eddie Campbell on his DeadfaceBacchus series and the subsequent soloadventures of The Eyeball Kid ndashalthough even before this I was alreadyactually a publisher of his (with BLUESaka Gencomics 2 which includes thefirst prinEng of his Ace story DapperJohn Minds the Baby) Perhaps becauseof this but also because the subjectmaGer and milieu of my stories is ovenlsquoeverydayrsquo many folks have alwaysassumed that much of my output is insome way autobiographical And yetCherish is the only piece of mine thatcould be accurately described as such

Yes readers this happened and to me

The story dates from March 1991 (Iknow this because the original art isdate stamped on the reverse) and wasoriginally published within the pages ofthe seminal Revolver Romance Special(from Fleetway who used to put out2000AD) This singleMissue publicaEon is

The events recounted in the storyoccurred some Eme earlier I would havebeen about 17 at the Eme so roughlyhellip1980 The Venue was a realMlife uh venueimmediately across the main road fromthe exits of London Victoriarsquos mainlineterminal ndash long since converted intosomething anonymous

I was always too heavyMhanded for paintand brushes so here in the framing(opening and closing) sequence IrsquomexperimenEng with chalky colour pastelslaid across a foundaEon of feltMEp markerpens ndash almost certainly using an industrialMsized can of hairspray as a cheapo artMstudent alternaEve to fixaEve Theremainder of the art is largely colouredinks and marker pens

It is all relatively primitive to be sure ndash my colour sense was always pretty basic foundedon what I could remember from school about complementary colours (yellow andpurple red and blue) yet still to this day my taste runs hot ersatz South American

The third panel here for instance (with the taxicab) is preGy terrible stuff sEffcluGered perspecEve David Lloyd could ndash and I think did ndash shoot me for But eventhe most embarrassing excesses have their moments

Jo as Irsquove said was the girl in quesEonrsquosactual name And thatrsquos my actual thentelephone number in panel 2 Thankfullynobody weird or curious ever tried it Ithink a part of me actually hoped eventhen that she (Jo) would somehow read thisstory and call me so this was a deliberatetrailing breadcrumb

If that had indeed happened I donrsquot knowwhat I or my 1991 partner would have madeof it Thatrsquos ChrisEne Irsquom spooning in the bedbeside me at the end there (and at the startif you look hard enough) She could shouldand did take solace in the fact that I gave herhaircut to the girl of my dreamMreflecEonMmemories I also think a part of me wastoying with a noEon that the gender of my

current partner could perhaps be lev open to doubt ndash thatrsquos quite a boyish haircut fora girl Whichever But thank heavens Irsquove goGen rid of that mullet

In the original script I called then Radio 1 DJ Peter Powell a ct Angry as I obviouslysEll was that was felt to be too strong even if it was funny in the context of a lightromanEc fluff piece At the editorrsquos insistence I downgraded the epithet to tosserWhen it hit print however even that had been transformed into a mere bastard Nowone thing I hope we can all agree on is that whatever else he might have been Radio1 DJ Peter Powell was never a bastard SEll he never read my leGer out and thus mychances of ever meeEng Jo again were dashed for all eternity So tosser it is Thank youto Russell Willis and Panel Nine for giving me this chance to reassert that

And Jo if aver all that Eme yoursquore sEll out there in InternetMland eventhough yoursquod now be 48 years of age to my 50 if you recognise yourselfby the events recorded herein then by all means do feel welcome to getin touch Wersquove a lot to catch up on

SOME THOUGHTS ON CREATING COMICS

Here I thought Irsquod offer a few new yearrsquos thoughts on creating stories being a creator and on comics generally

These are extracted from a file Irsquove kept on my desktop over the past three years or so that I add to whenever a thought occurs Some are learned from my own experience and some are from observing fellow creators All of them should be taken with a pinch of salt and none are any kind of gospel or even necessarily true Theyrsquore just notes but perhaps one or two may resonate with you as wellhellip

When lsquocharacter developmentrsquo is mentioned many people think of the creation and filling out of a character before they are used in a story but you should rather think of it in terms of the way the character develops because of the story The story should develop the character

In a story for a character to change their mind (or have it changed) something dramatic should happen

I donrsquot like stories that are aimed at kids or aimed at adults I donrsquot like films that claim to be for both but are just slapstick for the kids and double-entendres for the adults I like the story to be true only to itself and not written for some imaginary demographic

When you end a scene you need to end it with a full stop or maybe an ellipsis and when you start a scene you need to start it with a capital letter Not literally (grammar goes without saying) but visually

Writing for kids is difficult which is why I donrsquot bother I write for me and hope that others including kids will like it too

People sometimes seem to think that a strong female character is simply a girl who acts like a boy ndash in which case I think theyrsquore wrong

Irsquom an expert in how to make comics the Garen Way As for how to make comics any other way Irsquom rubbish

As soon as you get a book deal donrsquot sit back and hope the publisher will take care of all the marketing from now on What you actually need to do is double and triple your marketing efforts

Self-depreciation and false modesty are all very well but

donrsquot forget yoursquore a one-person marketing force on your own behalf so itrsquos best not to constantly put out lsquopress releasesrsquo saying how awful you are

Stop thinking yoursquore important and get on with your work

Stop thinking everyone else is better than you and get on with your work

Stop thinking the world is out to get you and nothingrsquos fair ndash and get on with your work

I donrsquot mind not being original in fact I think that may even be beyond me But I do want to be authentic and true to myself That is very important

How many comic creators does it take to change a light bulb One plus twenty-two to sit around saying how the light bulb industry is dying and if only they made light bulbs like they used to in the 70s then everything would be all right

Therersquos nothing wrong with occasional wordy scenes ndash as long as the words are useful important and serve the story If a comic is light on dialogue it might mean yoursquore just reading lots of running and fighting Either way just make it good

Success can often have more to do with not giving up rather than being brilliant or lucky Itrsquos about not letting obstacles defeat you Itrsquos about overcoming them and carrying on

People who draw only sexy girls draw brilliant sexy girls but not very good telephones Sometimes you need to draw telephones

The UK comics scene is small When someone has a success

with their comic it is a success for all comics

If fight scenes or extreme situations are too commonplace then they can lose their potency their danger If like in life fights are rare then when they do happen they have greater impact especially if the result on the characters is serious Too much death and it takes on very little meaning

When I make comics I am not a writer when I write the script and I am not an artist when I draw the pictures ndash I am a comic creator with both tasks Making comics is a single discipline with a single end product ndash the comic

Donrsquot sit there sobbing over everything thatrsquos wrong with a drawing yoursquove just done Go and do a new drawing and make it better

You can learn from anyone no matter what their level of expertise no matter what their age is Stay humble and be generous

Donrsquot respond to bad reviews of your work Donrsquot donrsquot donrsquot donrsquot donrsquot

Things in publishing arenrsquot always great When this happens donrsquot withdraw ndash yoursquove got to keep engaged Keeping engaged means opportunities will still come your way and things will improve

Itrsquos very easy to spend all your time writing emails doing interviews attending events dealing with admin ndash and not writing and drawing Donrsquot do that Writing and drawing must come first

People are fond of saying how comics are great for slow readers to hook them into reading Then they complain when comics are seen as dumbed-down kidsrsquo stuff useful only as a stepping stone to lsquoproper booksrsquo

CONTINUES

ldquoDonrsquot respond to badreviews of your workDonrsquot donrsquot donrsquot

donrsquot donrsquotrdquo



If someone says lsquoI could do better than thatrsquo what they usually mean probably without realising is they think they could improve on what they have just seen or read ndash not doing better from a fresh uninfluenced start ndash a blank sheet of paper ndash as the original author did

The best defence against failure and the best ally of inspiration is to make sure yoursquore working on a project that you really love

You donrsquot find the time to draw comics you make the time to draw comics

Everyone thinks therersquos a clique and that theyrsquore not in it

If a gun is used it must have serious consequences A gun must not be used to solve plot situations Guns donrsquot solve problems they make them more complicated

A drawing will lay bare your soul No wonder artists are so sensitive to criticism

When I type a comic script Irsquom writing with words When I draw a comic strip Irsquom writing with pictures

Successful artists suffer from a lack of confidence in their own ability just like every other artist does the difference is that they donrsquot let it rule their lives

Talking heads are fine if a) the talking is interesting and b) the heads are interesting Oh and it doesnrsquot go on too long

Isnrsquot it time we moved beyond the idea of girlsrsquo or boysrsquo comics

For a villain to be a threat they must be shown to do something with real and serious consequences

BEWARE ADDITIVESTherersquos a widespread view held by comics executives and industryobservers such as ICv2 that digital is lsquoadditiversquo to print sales Thatthe growth of digital will not impact upon physical sales of comicsand comic shops have nothing to fear This flies in the face of theexperience of music and books and is clearly wrong

The lsquoaddiEvesrsquo argue that comics having been gheGoized intocomic shops will react differently than more popular media suchas music and books They argue that making comics easily availablethrough digital (1) adds customers who would have never boughtcomics (2) gets lapsed comics readers back into the fold and theninto comic shops for print ediEons and (3) brings new readers intocomic shops to buy lsquothe real thingrsquo

This argument is seducEve because it is partly true and in theshort term we are seeing a growth of both print and digital But inthe medium term we are looking at the vast majority of exisEngcomics buyers moving to digital exclusively (Every day you read lsquoInever thought Irsquod abandon paper but comics on tablets are socoolrsquo) We will soon see comics periodicals for teenagers and adultsonly available digitally The influx of new buyers will stay exclusivelydigital or will be looking to buy souvenirs and totems notpamphlets and their business will not replace that of the lostcomics reader who used to visit a comic shop each week

The big American comics companies need to keep comic shopowners calm whilst they migrate to what for them is asignificantly beGer and more profitable business model and thelsquoaddiEversquo argument is part of the placaEon effort Donrsquot buy it

DRM-FREE AND DIGITAL ESCROWIf you want the delightful reading experience of apps like ThePhoenix then true DRMMfree is impossible Without Applersquos systemall you have is some weird PDFs and a set of loose media files But asystem could be set up where coherent PDFs of purchased comicsare held in escrow for delivery to a customer when the file is nolonger available from the company that sold it Neat idea huh infin
