Hello. First of all, congratulations on the space you've dedicated here at Making Comics and also on the development of your comic, Three Planes. I'm a Brazilian writer and artist who loves following newsletters from authors all over the world (by the way, I'm also a big fan of Hayden Sherman and Juni Ba). I subscribed today and I'm enjoying the content you're producing.
Incidentally, when I subscribed, I received a message saying I could promote the comic I've been working on for the past few months. It's called "Edgar Alan Corvo" (which in English, I think would be something like "Edgar Allan Crow") - yes, it's a play on the name of the famous author Poe, featuring an anthropomorphic crow wearing an outfit similar to Dick Tracy's, who investigates crimes in the city of São Paulo (the largest capital of my country, where I also reside). In this universe, which takes place in the present day (despite the retro atmosphere), a few decades ago a portion of the animals decided to walk on two legs, while others remained as they are. Those who have anthropomorphized now live alongside humans, working in jobs and dealing with everyday social issues.
The title's protagonist, Edgar, investigates crimes as a private detective, from robberies to murders and other mysteries, generally involving animal and human communities.
This comic was conceived like those Sunday pages, not only making use of vintage comic book resources, but also of narrative. Each chapter of a single story is told on one page, which then ends with a hook for the next chapter/page, which airs bi-weekly on Substack. Incidentally, the first complete story is already online in 10 chapters/pages.
Think of this comic as "Cerebus and Bone investigate crimes in Sin City, with a narrative heavily inspired by The Spirit."
I know that the use of Brazilian Portuguese may be a major barrier for readers from other parts of the world, but the long-term idea is to also make versions in English. For now, the comic is only available here on Substack, that is, digitally. There are some Brazilian publishers interested in publishing Edgar, but I'm talking to them to understand the best offer.
In Edgar Alan Corvo, I do everything. Script, drawings, lettering, speech bubbles, cover art and layout, all the design of the Substack thumbnails, videos for social media, etc.
If you want and can help promote Edgar to your readers, I would be very grateful. You can also count on my support, in whatever you need. In this independent comic book scene, and as we say here in Brazil in a saying: "one hand washes the other".
