A four-page comic created specifically for a competition, conceived as a self-contained story with an unexpected twist at the end. The work did not receive any recognition within the competition. It is possible that the outcome was influenced by the subject matter, which focused on issues related to state power structures, a field that may not have been particularly comfortable or suitable for this type of contest. Nevertheless, the making of the comic and the entire working process proved highly satisfying on a personal level, both in terms of developing the story and the time devoted to resolving it graphically. The project allowed for a great deal of creative freedom, becoming a valuable experience regardless of the competition’s result.
