Rise of the Cityflame

Comic for Smart fortwo

Night has fallen upon the city. Stripped of all energy it has fallen into the evil hands of Derek Dark. The only one who can face this villain is the Cityflame...

For the latest campaign for the smart special edition fortwo cityflame, Rainer created illustrations and texts for a story developed by BBDO Berlin as a sophisticated comic. The style can be described as "Film Noir meets Superhero".

For this project Rainer, who started his career as an author and illustrator for realistic comics for adults, exchanges his ink and quill against an entirely digital workflow.
His characteristic black and white aesthetic eventually merges with high end car photographies of Iver Hansen.

The comic can be found at most stores and qw qn interactive slideshow on the smart homepage and is being published as a web video on YouTube.
