How did the 3 of you meet and decide on creating your own comics?<\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

We’ve known each other since college. We were all comics \/ pre-viz students, and knew about each other mostly through our work. We’ve all been in touch with our faculty after graduating, and last year, one of our professors approached us with an opportunity to create a comic for Bangalore Comic-Con 2022. We were driven to put out the kind of stories that we liked, the result of which was Eyes n’ Daggers. We could’ve made a one-shot story, but we wanted to have something that had the potential to set up an expansive world. And after seeing how well Vol. 1 turned out, we knew we had to continue the story. Which is why we created Unbearable Comics.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What was your inspiration behind \u201cEyes n\u2019 Daggers\u201d? And the influence of Indian Folktales in the story?<\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

We knew we wanted to create something that we would enjoy ourselves. We spent a lot of time brainstorming ideas and eventually came across this book called Ghosts, Monsters, and Demons of India by Rakesh Khanna. This was where the idea for Eyes n’ Daggers originated. The book is like an encyclopedia of the supernatural from different parts of India. Seeing the rich variety of ghosts from our folktales, we knew there was a strong potential for stories to take place in a world built around that.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Eyes n\u2019 Daggers have garnered more than 10k views on globalcomix.com and all the comic books were sold out at Comic Con 2022, Bengaluru. Did you expect this kind of response from the readers?<\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

We are really proud of how Vol. 1 turned out. We knew it was sellable but did not expect it to get sold out at Comic-Con. It showed us that people were interested in reading our story. Some even contacted us after reading it, asking us to keep them posted for future volumes. This, along with the brilliant response we got on GlobalComix, really strengthened our faith in the project. The online audience honestly came as a surprise, since we did not spend much time on marketing the comic except for some timely Instagram and Reddit posts. The site’s algorithm brought in its own readers, and even put Eyes n’ Daggers on its front page as a Popular Indie Title.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Three artists from different backgrounds and experiences and each artist with a different style of art. Was it difficult to work together as a team?<\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

We surprisingly get along really well. Our styles might be very different, but we share lots of common interests in the kind of content we consume and the stories that we like. There is mutual respect for each other’s work and the abilities that we bring to the table and a shared drive for creating. Even as a team, we have different strengths that fit together perfectly, so assigning roles for production was easy. Everything’s been smooth sailing so far, we’ve even managed to come up with more stories to work on together in the future.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Each of you either has a full-time job or works as a freelancer on commercial projects. So how do you manage to take out time and work together in creating comics?<\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

We honestly barely manage to; we constantly compromise on other factors of life to push forward the comic’s production. It’s currently like a personal project that we enjoy working on at the end of the day. There certainly are times when we can’t find any time to work on the comic at all, but the three of us are on the same page about dealing with it and have decided to just take everything at our own pace, and make progress steadily whenever we can.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
