Artist Name: ALEX PORELL (with Help form Paul Porell)
Title of Comic: IRON MAN
Describe your story and characters: How did you come up with this idea? What are youtrying to communicate to your readers?

I made a funny armor for Iron Man. He has all kinds of armors for different situations, and so I made one that was useless. My Dad and I came up with funny ideas. One of my Dad’s ideas was a janitorial armor, with plungers and scrubbing brushes. It was very funny when he drew it. My Dad is a great artist and I sort of take after him. I’m trying to make a really cool superhero funny, so I also made “Iron Cat” where photoshoped a cats head and tail on to Iron Man because I love cats.. I included one of Dad’s drawings of “formal” Iron Man.

Does your comic evoke a certain feeling?

Humor. I try to make my readers chuckle.

What materials & techniques did you use to make your comic?

I sketched it out by hand and inked it in. Then I used the paint bucket to fill the colors in. for my other comics I inked out already existing pictures or used videogame screenshots.

Is this a successful comic? Is there anything you would change or improve?

I think my comics are successful. I hope other people think so to.

What did you enjoy learning the most about the process of making your comic?

I have done this camp before, and it was so much fun to do it again.

Do comics about Iron Man! But seriously, make a comic about what you like.
