Flight

[comics]

Я давно хотела написать о "Flight". Это проект группы артистов, созданный из историй о жизни, о полётах, о небе, о чувствах. Уже вышли два тома и готовится третий. Один из самых ярких проектов независимого комикса.







В первый том вошли истории:



"Hugo Earheart" (автор - Jake Parker) - is the story of a young courier that ships parcels to fantastic lands while still trying to live a normal life as a boy. He juggles schoolwork with adventure.



"Formidable" (Bengal) - a story about an airship robbery gone awry called.



"Air and Water" (Enrico Casarosa) - is a short meditation on the flight of a seaplane, inspired by the writing of Antoine de Saint-Exupery.



"I wish..." (Vera Brosgol) - is a story about a girl who has woken up one morning to find that she has grown some wings. She and her friend take a stroll and discuss what they used to believe and wish for when they were young and how it affects them in the present.



"The Bowl" (Clio Chiang) - is the story of a bowl and how it came to be an artifact in a museum. It conveys the richness of an artifact's history that most would know nothing about from just a desсriрtion.



"Paper and String" (Jen Wang) - is a story about two girls who reunite after High School and reminisce on their days there.



Dylan Meconis and Bill Mudron contributed a story about a pilot's coming to terms with her fear of flying.



Erika Moen has a very heartfelt, very honest comic about a person questioning her faith.



Phil Craven has two stories that are both standouts. The first, "Tug McTaggart, Circus Detective" is the story of Tug's first mystery. A prized circus snake is missing and he sets out to get to the bottom of it. The style is reminiscent of some of the best silver age comics, but made new through Phil's hand. Phil's other comic is about a penguin who dreams of flying, and finds a way to get his wish.



"Wing" (Joel Carroll) - short story about a pilot's race to save a butterfly on an alien planet.



"Taj Mahal" (Neil Babra) - is the story of a young Indian American visiting the country of his origin, only to find that he is more American than he thought.



"Migrations" (Kean Soo) - is the tale of two lonely souls in the city. A comic that is mostly about quiet moments between people, Kean did a great job of conveying that feeling of despair with a tinge of hope.



"Tumbleweed" (Catia Chien) - a story about a girl who takes a bike ride through the city and beyond, is one of the most visually stunning pieces in the book. So many moments in this story really make you feel like you're experiencing a moment, whether it's the rush of cool water or wind blowing across your face and pushing the rustling leaves. Cat also has a one page comic entitled "Fall", which is just as poignant and beautiful.



"Outside My Window" (Khang Le) - a story of a robot doing what he can to attain the love of a young girl not only contains a stunning narrative, but it also features some amazing artwork.



The silent Chris Appelhans's story of a couple piloting an airship out of a war-torn city as seen from the eyes of their young child has stuck with me for a long time now.
