ariadnearca:“You gave your precious Reich your life, and for what? The men you served did not give medals for doing good.”–Day 6 of Artober and I thought I’d try my hand at drawing Brynhildr from Hans Vogel is Dead, by @chjorniy-voron !Sierra describes Hans Vogel as “an anti-fascist fairytale/historical fantasy”; it’s a story about a German WW2 ace pilot called Hans Vogel after he is killed in the Battle of Britain, who now needs to reckon with the evils he perpetuated in life. What really makes this comic compelling to me is that Hans is a generally normal person with instincts towards helping people, who nevertheless seems to have let his cowardice/passivity and fear of confrontation lead him to become a literal Nazi war hero; the interchapter flashbacks to Hans growing up in Weimar Germany in particular are doing a really interesting job of showing how he ended up in this position (Ottoplatz has been my favourite so far). As for Brynhildr, her contempt for and total disinterest in Hans is delightful and I hope we see her in the comic again soon. The comic is being kickstarted now - check out the campaign here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/castironbooks/hans-vogel-is-dead-volume-i AHHH I PROPERLY SCREAMED ABOUT THIS ON TWITTER BUT I’M GONNA HOLLER AGAIN HERE!!Thank you thank you thank you so much for drawing the best character in this entire comic! This looks so good, ahh you got her baleful glare perfectly!! And as for seeing her again, well. I’ve got some GREAT news….. ;) -- source link
