Ordered some ashcans off of ComiXPress of the Chapter 1 preview for Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) on May 1, 2010. I shall most probably be giving these away at my awesome local comic book store That’s Entertainment in Worcester, MA on FCBD 2010.

The ashcans really came out great. Going to order some more of these to give out at Albany Comic Con in April 2010, if I decide to attend it. Here are some hastily snapped cellphone photos. Click on the images for larger versions.

Christmas came early this year. As promised, we are posting a preview of Chapter 1 of Mumbai Confidential Book 1 “Good Cop, Bad Cop“.

Here is a three page preview (Strong language and swearing, so not suitable for minors) (click for higer res pages)

Here are some initial character explorations for MC as sent in by Vivek

Here are the inked pages for pages 1 and 2. Sid is not happy with Page 2 (Well looks more than okay to me ), but anyways you be the judge.

Here is an art dump of the thumbnails of the first sequence and character concept for Sawant, the bad guy. Sid has done a good job in translating my jumbled notes into a real visual treat. The opening sequence is a shootout between Sawant and Kadam in Dharavi. It’s night and monsoons are lashing Mumabai Our two dudes are at it shooting each other… why you ask? well check out the book when it comes out.
