Director's Commentary I am a big fan of Frank Miller's Sin City, not because of the mindless "artistic" violence, but because of the effectiveness of the simple black and white style of the whole comic. It even shows through in some of his other work, in particular the Batman work that he did. Even using colour, it's clearly the same sort of style, with strong contrast and simple use of shadows to create a mood. I suppose it's a no brainer to say that what would work in Basin City would work in Gotham City. Maybe, one day, when I grow up into a proper comic book artist, I'll be able to bring the same sort of effective contrasting colours and mood to the mean streets of Harringay. Until then, we'll have to stick to the half baked lazy-methods I normally use. Coming soon, keep your eyes open for some comics that I've been using a tablet for. The next page should feature some tablet work anyway. It's a bit of a learning curve so far, but there we go.
