DescriptionThe Wake # 9 page 5Art by Sean Murphy Written by Scott Snyder Published by Vertigo - June 4th, 2014 I absolutely love this series. Sean and Scott some how managed to fit so much story and adventure in a single page!!! "It's been one of the most thrilling experiences for me work-wise, really ever, getting to do this book with Sean." - Scott Snyder, CBR interview 6/2014 I found this great quote around this sequence from a Comic Alliance Interview: CA: One thematic thing that I kept noticing issue after issue are those pages where Leeward will be describing things she’s done. She’ll almost be giving a travelogue. That was especially something that happened in issue #9. Sean, the way you’ll portray that isn’t even in a way like panel by panel progression but all mixed up in one big splash page. What made you decide to take that approach instead of more of a panel by panel recap of what’s happened? SM: I think it started with Scott’s script. He wanted to try a dreamlike flashback where you had different elements, but not necessarily with panel borders separating things. We talked about it and he asked if it would work or if we could do it partially. I said I’d love to try it, I had never really done montage-y type of stuff like that so, that looked a lot of Drew Struzan and stuff like that. I think the trick was, l was going through each visual bit and adding the correct narration over certain parts of the page. I think that Scott’s writing really makes it more of a sequential storytelling rather than something that could just be an illustration. I was impressed how he would find little bits in the background. He would write something around it and put that word balloon right next to that element, and then your eye would be led to the next part. There was a real back and forth on those montage pages and the more we got comfortable with them, and the more successful they seemed, the more we used them as a go to as a go-to storytelling device through this series. It all started with Scott. Read the full interview by clicking 'The Wake' Exit Interview With Scott Snyder & Sean Murphy Social/Sharing |

He has done several creator-owned books and a lot with Batman books. Great story teller with his art and his ink work is something really special to see.
