COMICS CAN BE AWESOME (4 January 2021)

It’s been a while since I last indulged in my passion for splash pages – a comic book technique that, while sometimes overused, can also be entirely justified, blowing readers minds by suddenly escalating the visual scale and submerging them in a single, expansive image… So, after a year devoted to cool covers, 2021 kicks off with weekly reminders of comics’ potential for awesomeness in the form of a trio of masterful splashes:

Strange Tales #159

Big Trouble in Little China / Escape from New York #2

Skybourne #4
