For issue #123, titled Spark, Swiss comics publication STRAPAZIN Magazin asked Aidan Koch along with six other artists to submit three images, texts or songs of inspiration. Working from this common pool of ‘inspirations’ the artists were each then invited to contribute a short story, to be published in the issue. The original drawings shown here are pages from Koch’s resulting story, Windows, whose inspirational material included an Italo Calvino excerpt and a Charles Schulz comic.
