I’m making it no secret that this comic is my love letter to the great fantasy epics I grew up with. I’m sure most of you caught the nod on this page to “The Princess Bride,” a film that belongs on any short list of the greatest movies of all time.
Of note, there was about a four month time lapse between when Koko finished page 8 and started working on the next batch of pages. While his first eight were gorgeous, I believe he only continues to improve with every page of Tears he draws. And Paul is just continually spectacular on colors.
I really love how Koko handled the two children on this page. I love the dynamic between Cayla and Callum. As an older brother with younger sisters, I know how much influence we can have on them…and in some cases, we can be flat out manipulative. (Sorry, Katie, Jenny and Leighann!) But hey, if it weren’t for Callum‘s nudging, we wouldn’t get to hear more of the story, right?
