Nossas Jornadas: Experiências pessoais em narrativas de história em quadrinhos

Abstract

This final work explores how personal experiences can provide a strong foundation for inspiration to be used in a comic narrative. Inspired by true stories from seven people and regional legends from the São Francisco River, the project is structured around the the hero's transformation cycle as described in Joseph Campbell's book, "The Hero with a Thousand Faces". The project was executed through the following steps: first, collecting stories; second, mapping these stories while noting specific elements such as locations, characters, and connections; third, developing the various components that shape the narrative, including characters, settings, regional legends, and objectives; fourth, assembling the narrative structure according to the hero's cycle; and finally, creating the comic. As a result, a fictional comic book of 30 full-color pages was created with the title “Nanda and the Little Ones: The Tears of Iati”.
