Description

For the character considered the living representation of Desire, there are not too many artists in the run who have done justice to the visual depiction. Except Milo Manara in the Endless Nights story and Bolton in this, a short story about an aging Satyr who has a last promise to claim.

I personally feel this is the finest page in the story, but your mileage may vary. It is a full-page splash and a separate panel that breaks the splash (especially the exquisitely painted tree that frames the characters), for the sake of the story. The lettering is on a separate overlay. Look to the additional pictures for how it all fits. I am not sure how I should display the page, whether it should have both the panels together, or if I should frame the smaller panel separately.

My eternal thanks to John and Liliana for agreeing to sell this, and to Gerard for hooking me up.

Congrats on this enchanting page by the master! As for me, I'd like the panels framed together, because I think this would further increase the magic and charm of the page...
