Deron GenerallyBEFORE WE SAIL explores the consequences of life continuing in a society that has no confidence in having a future.
Created by CARLOS YACOLCA in his comics-writing debut, and drawn by MICHELLE LINO, in a return to comics after a six year break, BEFORE WE SAIL is a graphic novella in seven parts for DAVID LLOYD’s online comics magazine, ACES WEEKLY.
“For me, art is a superior medium of communication, and comics the greatest art of all,” said writer
Yacolca. “Making a first sound is a difficult task, so I thought of creating something like a three-song EP
to express my ideas as a starting point, to expand on later as I improve as a writer and a person. This is
planned to be the beginning of a constant communication via other works.”
Michelle Lino’s art is lettered by DIEGO REVELO (Webtoon’s Doble Detective Difunto).And the project has been edited by ALBERTO RAYO (Heavy Metal Magazine).”This work was born from a deep admiration for comics. I’m fascinated by how the resources of graphic art— line, composition, color, and visual silences—can produce more than words can do alone, expanding the meaning and effect of any narrative,” says Lino. “After a long break, coming back to comics with this story isa way of showing the evolution of my style, and a way of reconnecting with an art form I’m passionate about.”
Yacolca added, “The genre of the story is a classic one. As it’s my first shot, I wanted to start with some simple clay to see how I could mold it to express my ideas with. It’ll be up to the reader to judge whether we’ve been successful in that endeavor.”
