DER HANZ is a dark fable about a gentle giant so ugly even a quick glimpse of his face would be enough to kill other kids and small animals. Or so that’s hat his 150 year old grandmother said. Hanz looks after her, and his incredibly obese and slow brother Wal, who lives in the basement of their house. He is rewarded with unmeasurable love, matched by no human being. But only until Hanz meets a new neighbour, Eliza.
Story and at are by Bruno Stahl, a young author who I’ve met when he was in Art School and gladly met again years later - when he was already a Comic pro. After some years doing work for publisher Opera Graphica, where he started developing more his drawing and painting style, Bruno has been freelancing like there’s no tomorrow in both print and design for stage plays. Mr. Stahl has done the art for my own short comic “Mondo Albino”, published in NIGHT OFFICE #1 last january. And later in March classic fantasy magazine HEAVY METAL featured his story “The legends of Adriano’s Wall” - the sequel to which he’s busy working on.
Lettering is by Studio Gama’s Wanderley Felipe, an author himself who’s done a lot of all ages stories and other not that PG at all. A comic veteran and restless pro, Wanderley is a guy we hope will have one of his stories in Inkshot sooner rather than later.
