Trio
The three sets of panels drawn by professional European cartoonists Joseph Falzon, Sacha Goerg and Pierre Alary for the Graphic Writing course. Students duplicated, reframed, and combined the imposed and limited sets -with addition of textual elements- to create imaginative stories of their own. All images, texts and stories rights remain with their respective artists & authors.

A word from the editorial team: “As evoked in its title, the ‘Bang Bang You’re Dead!’ zine invokes the playful yet serious aspects of constrained comics composition. Based on sets of speechless comics panels drawn especially for their Graphic Writing course by European cartoonists, 34 Thai senior students of the four-year program in Strategic Communication Management at the Faculty of Communication Arts, Chulalongkorn University (Bangkok, Thailand), duplicated, reframed, and combined the imposed drawings -with addition of textual elements- to create imaginative stories of their own. Without any particular drawing formation and facing the numerous and overlapping challenges posed by comics composition, our Faculty seniors were able to overcome the constraint of iconic iteration by thinking out of the box, using their creativity to cross formal, modal, cultural, and national borders.”
