Dual has issues.

Or at least, DUAL will soon have issues. Soon, the two seasons of DUAL will be divided into two three issue digital mini-series. Each issue will be about 20 pages. The first issue will be offered for zero dollars and zero cents and the subsequent issues will be offered for $0.99 each.
If digital issues of DUAL are well received, more DUAL will be created.

End of Zuda website

Zudacomics.com has ended today. You can read Ron Perazza's statement at: http://zuda.blog.dccomics.com/

While Zuda has ended, some titles, including DUAL, will be folded in with DC Comics' digital comics sold through their new DC Comics' app.

I'm incredibly grateful for the entire Zuda experience so far. I'm curious to see how things will continue to evolve.

I'll post more information as I receive it.

Thanks for the support.

Marquee on 93

The names of the boxers features on the marquee on screen 93 of Dual are derived from an artist and one of his subjects. Surrealist Russian painter Mikhail Nesterov’s painting “Philophers,” depicts Symbolist academics Pavel Florensky and Sergei Bulgakov.

Layout thumbnails.
For this screen. It was all digital. In Photoshop, the layout breakdowns are made tighter until I have enough information to do the finished drawing. On a new layer the digital inks are done on a over the loose digital drawing. That leaves us with a clean black and white image. Then values are brought in. Then colors. Then textures.
