Krakow's Superhero on Android
"Bler. An Improved Version of Life", a comic by Rafał Szłapa, has been released as an application for Android mobile devices.
A bookseller is killed, officially at least, in a car accident. However, his mutilated body is subjected to experiments, giving him superpowers. He’s fast, strong and willing to fight against evil.
His computer is able to foresee the future, allowing him to prevent different events before they happen. This is the origin of Bler, the Polish superhero from Krakow created by Rafał Szłapa.
Contrary to appearances, the whole situation does more harm than good. To effectively prevent evil, the hero is forced to give up any scruples. Later, it turns out that the position in which he found himself has an underlying layer, and he is being of manipulated. – reveals Szłapa.
So far three comics about the Krakow hero have been published. “Bler. An Improved Version of Life" is the English translation of the first part of the series. The comic was published in Poland in late 2010 .
My colleague persuaded me to release the publication in this form. He also took up the technical side of the project. The adaptation of the comic for mobile devices was primarily connected with the desire to present my work where the Polish paper version hadn't arrived, or because of the language barrier did not have a chance to exist. I am sure that the two other parts will also appear in the same form, as well as new volumes, on which I’m working right now. - explained Szłapa
The first 17 pages of the comic are available to view. A version for iOS is soon to be released.
The comic for Android can be downloaded here
