POLAR [ VICTOR SANTOS ] ( 2012 - 2015 )

WHAT´S POLAR?

Polar is an online action comic. My approach is advancing at my own pace, but with a minimum rhythm of two weekly updatings, Mondays and Thursdays.

The story uses a minimalistic and direct style inspired by movies like Le Samurai (Jean-Pierre Melville, 1967), Tokyo Drifter (Seijun Suzuki, 1965) or Point Blank (John Boorman, 1967)and novels like The Killer inside me (Jim Thompson, 1952)or The Eiger Sanction (Trevanian, 1979). Polar is also a tribute to artists like Jim Steranko, Jose Muñoz, Alberto Breccia, Alex Toth and Frank Miller,.

The main character is Black Kaiser, an international hitman born in the same titled graphic novel, published by Planeta-De-Agostini in Spain and Italy in 2010.

 

WHY THIS STYLE?

No words, simple to draw, simple to see, simple to understand. Following that spirit, there are not limitations of language or country.

 

WILL POLAR BE PUBLISHED IN PAPER?

We´ll soon see what happens. This is an experiment. But if finally it happens, they will be diferent works with outstanding changes.

 

Τα παραπάνω λόγια είναι του Victor Santos δημιουργού του εν λόγω web-comic. Και νομίζω είναι αρκετά διαφωτιστικός. Εγώ απλά να συμπληρώσω πως ο Santos είναι ο σχεδιαστής μεταξύ άλλων και του Filthy Rich -σε σενάριο Brian Azzrello. Περισσότερα στο www.polarcomic.com.
