Ok, not a lot of people know but Jonny Comic actually started as a 6 issue mini-series I made in high school. I drew and inked (if you call just using micron pens inking) traditionally and colored (poorly) on Photoshop. I sold it at convention and within my school, High School of Art and Design. I did it from my junior to senior years of high school, late 2011-early 2013.
Soon after I started college at SVA I decided to redo the series and upload it for free on the internet. I started upload August 26th 2014 with the cover to Book 1, which retells Issues 1 and 2 of the original series.
I won't release the full six issues here, but I will show certain old and new pages. One's that are direct redo's of the original. So it will be pages from Books 1-3, as those are reinterpretations of the mini-series.
Not that that's all been explained, here are the cover's to Origin Story. As you can see the web one is a direct redraw of the original. The old one is stiff so I changed to an aerial shot. Jonny's face also changed from smiling to frightened, as that seemed more interesting. One last note, this was colored by my sister Becky, who colored the first few pages of Book 1.
