The very last page 12 is the one when Benj's colour appears and again it is a little reminder of the other story and it's involvement with mine. As I said before it was great fun and brilliant experience as well as hard work. I think that for three weeks time for this comic we came up with something that wouldn't be done if we tried it individually and I guess we we're slightly overambitious, but I'm well happy with the result and would love to say: Huge thanks to Dave and Benj, for your help and keeping an atmosphere we had. I'll be more than happy to undertake this again, even if it means few more stressful weeks. Well done, boys!

Page 9 & 10
I slightly struggled with the way how to bring the bad guys, who ambush my main character's transport of alcohol, to the story. But in the end I decided not to confront them directly with my Italian mob, mainly for the purpose of saving the space I was running out of. But more importantly I realized there is no need for freneticly crazy shooting as this part of story was more about the moment of surprise and my main character being helpless to do anything about it.
Page 7 & 8
The 7th page is one of my favourite ones, I really enjoyed drawing it as I love these sceneries and the fact you don't have to necessarily draw every single detail of it to give a reader impression of what he's looking at.

Another element within our comic was significant colour for each story. As the whole comic is black and white, we decided to add one colour to individual story, and use both of them every time these stories cross over. Dave's storyline had a link to red colour, mine was a colour of whisky or crates, and Benj's was yellow. When I came up with this idead of using colours I thought it might give a reader little hint of how it works as the whole.
I think it worked out quite well.

Page 3 & 4
Pages 1-4 are mostly about setting the story to give you the idea, where it takes a place and what's roughly going on. I was trying to avoid detailed description of what's going on ( text wise ) and let the imagery work for itself. But I still had to add a little bit more information, I personally found to keep this balance quite hard.
Page 1 & 2
So here's page 1 and 2. I decided to go for a midtone feeling of the comic, rather than my two coursemates, who got into inking and very contrast imagery. I guess it works really well, considering my story is the middle one and even though it's very different to theirs, its bounded to them mainly storywise and of course topic wise as well.
