Polish Mute Comics? Yep, they are a thing it seems. At least enough of a thing to warrant a website collecting mute comics from 31 authors at present. I was sent their way by Piotr Nowacki, artist of Tainted and Moe. Seems he isn’t alone with the no words thing. Here’s how the website describes itself:
“Welcome to POLISH’D SILENCE. You have just come across a uniqe site presenting the wealth and diversity of Poland’s mute comics. Them being without a word, may just as well leave you speechless. Just reach out and finally get to know some of the Poland’s best modern comic creators without the hassle of language barrier.”
One from Piotr Nowacki first… written by Bartosz Sztybor, Just One Different Thought – a splitting storyline, each different decision splits off into a different colour, narrowing down the art as it goes – the first page splits to two (below), then 4, then .. well, I’ll let you find out. Nice though.
And this was very nice – 7 pages from writer Dennis Wojda and artist Sebastian Skrobol – Island Of Hope:
