3rd Prize: "Tonight", by Remy Ramsés Hernández

For future contests, authors are recommended to: 

• Before starting to experiment with page designs typical of other comic schools (Japanese, North American ...), use the most basic in order to increase fluency in storytelling.
• A comic book page can contain between five and 12 bullets. 
• When referring to real characters, the details of the drawing must be taken care of, so that the reader can immediately identify the figure represented. 
• Preferably, make the texts by hand, in block letters, or use a digital font that makes reading easier. 
• Take into account spelling and writing, as well as consistency in the use of language.
• The title should not be part of the page design, as it can be included in the stem or on the presentation page of the comic.
