Description

When this entire short story came up for auction a few months back, I set my sights on trying to add one of the pages to my collection.

Why? Well, they�re phenomenal examples of Tim�s storytelling, of course. However, this is one of the very few instances where Tim was both the artist and writer. And, for those of us who knew him well, this story is so very Tim.

For starters, it�s partly a love letter to Steranko. Tim was a huge fan of the maestro, so setting this adventure in a Hydra base is a clear nod to those stories he loved� not to mention his very Steranko layout for the DPS that preceded this sequence.

It�s also a love letter to our national pastime. Tim came from a baseball loving family, and our mutual love of the game is one of the things we bonded over when we first became friends. So, the fact that the great and glorious game is at the heart of this story makes it particularly meaningful to me.

This particular page is also very Tim because it incorporates the three-panel format he loved so much. Tim often remarked that Darwyn�s New Frontier changed the game for him, and how he was forever asking writers to work three panels to a page afterwards.

He does a phenomenal job pulling the �camera� in and out and shifting angles to create visual interest, while simultaneously making the page easily digestible by placing the key elements dead center in each panel. I particularly appreciate the shield being dead center on the page and how the horizontal line on the wall brings the eye to it.

Such a strong page! Congratulations. Love the second panel and how the blacks help lead the readers eye from the top left across the panel to the right and down to that bottom panel and Caps eyes

Real nice wherever your eye is drawn first to. The top panel like you were reading it for the Hydra action, the center of the page with the shield, or at the bottom with Cap's determined stare. The page needs no dialogue.

Other than a flashback scene on page 6, the entire short story is dialogue free. Tim often said he wasn't much of a writer, but pulling off a wordless story proves otherwise, IMHO.

If I could have had one page from this story, it would have been this one.
