One of the more impressive pages from a very impressive fight scene - it's another great instance of simple elements in the weird configuration, and it's very fitting that the crew, potentially just props in another story, end up rallying, earning Namor's respect in the process 2

Ladies, gentlemen, and honored guests, I give your our villain for the evening: TORG, THE ABOMINABLE SNOW-KING - and, look, he's not great, is he? It's mainly his coloring. Silvery-white and he might be more impressive (But the dialogue is pretty wonderful here, which helps) 2

The panel that made me buy the issue! Everett has a strong sense of how much space he has to work with and what moments to spend it on. Entering this cave marks a shift in the story from adventure/mystery to creature feature/sci-fi horror, and this big, lonely panel signals that. 2

In panels like this, Everett's compositions pick up an almost Fletcher Hanks-type energy - simple visual elements arranged in an unnatural, vaguely surreal way. It's weird and I'm very into it. 2

The way Everett gives this murky texture to the underwater scenes is really impressive... I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the way he did this is by quickly scratching a razor blade across the finished inks. The CAJONES. That's the confidence of 30+ years experience for ya. 3

The MOST iconic Namor expression, and our first front-facing close up. Everett's original recipe Sub-Mariner is obviously my favorite version - a super buff Slytherin with a noble heart, when he remembers he has one. 1

Breaking up is hard to do. It's cool that Everett includes this shot of the crew on the imperiled ship, making sure there's a human element to a page that's all long shots otherwise- particularly important since the crew's lives are what the drama of the story revolves around 2

20th century cousin-crushes aside, it's worth noting that Namor doesn't actually face the camera until page 4. But you don't really notice it - his design is iconic from all angles, like the Human Torch or the Silver Surfer. Even from behind, who else would he be? 3

Lookit that, it's November 1972's SUB-MARINER #55, written and drawn by Namor creator and comics legend Bill Everett! I grabbed a digital copy after seeing @DarrellEpp describe it as Everett's masterpiece, and it's pretty wall-to-wall excellent. A thread: 2

Came across some splash pages I did for an unpublished FOWL story from... 2014? My memories from then are squirrely, but I like the look of these pages. Dig those scraggly, neurotic lines ?️ 4

Incidentally - if you're looking for a good salt n' vinegar Election Day read, you could do a hell of a lot worse than PULP. Ed Brubaker, Sean and Jacob Phillips, Image Comics. I think it pairs pretty well. https://t.co/SEQccB6vVE 1

...and the red line continues to be visible throughout the scene, underlining how the editor has all the power here, the decision's been made, and this really isn't a discussion. I thought it was a cool way to give a visual hook to a spoken conversation about words on a page. 2

A cool little piece of stagecraft in Brubaker, Phillips, & Phillips' PULP: writer Max Winters and his editor argue over the ending of his latest story, an argument where the editor holds all the cards. He strikes a line through the ending at the a start of their discussion... 2

@RentonHawkey The somber seriousness with which Batman's flashlight emblem is presented here gives me a kind of... not dread exactly, more that unnerved feeling you get when the otherwise cool guy you're taking to reveals he believes the moon landing was faked 1

Over In the villain corner, we have the likes of LORD AND LADY HAWTHORNE - an icy criminal mastermind and her animalistic enforcer of a husband - the ambitious and duplicitous CHIEF JUSTICE GALL, and the masked conductor of chaos known as THE BLACK NOTE ?? 4
