The artist released this comic (and a couple others) for free on their store quite some time ago, but the format they were released in was a low resolution PDF. After converting the PDF to a folder of PNGs, I didn't think they were large enough/ high enough quality to upload.

So instead I tried to restore these comics as best I can. I used an AI upscaling tool to increase the size of the images without hopefully losing to much quality. This worked out well for the most part, most foreground stuff was retained nicely. However some of the background character faces blurred up a bit and most of the text became unreadable. So after this I ended up cleaning some of the details (including a few faces) and re-typesetted most of the text in the comic.

Hopefully everyone will be fine with this compromise and the fixes. I'm quite rusty at digital art, please let me know if you can think of any improvements, and since I don't mind making more. Outside of higher quality original art this is best I've got right now... I will upload the other free comics as well later. The AI upscaling worked out better for them since they're black and white, but I still intend to redo the text for them as well.

Actually I kind of like this better, it gives them more of a warm, brushed look
