I adapted Alexander Pushkin's novel "Mozart and Salieri" into a comic.
The characters are from the French musical "Mozart, l'opéra rock."
I've received a lot of feedback that this story was hard to understand.
It delves into Salieri's complex emotions towards Mozart.
Salieri admires Mozart's musical talent but also harbors intense jealousy, even to the point of considering murder. One day, Salieri tries to assassinate Mozart by poisoning his wine, but he ultimately cannot bear the thought of Mozart dying and ends up consuming the poison himself. Through this event, Mozart becomes aware of Salieri's conflicted feelings. Understanding the depth of Salieri's emotions, his love for Mozart coupled with his inability to harm him, Mozart declares to Salieri, "You cannot leave me from now on."
In short: Salieri is ensnared in Mozart's power.
I really enjoyed a two-color print using Opera-colored ink.
I am grateful to Dongbo Printing for providing such excellent color printing.
