Description

After our glimpse of Cap staring at the foot locker on page five, here we get the reveal.

This was the page I set my sights on when the preview images for the auction went up. Tim didn’t often use vertical panels, but when he did it was usually quite memorable.

That’s certainly the case here. The right panel tries to steal the show thanks to eye-catching use of positive and negative space, but you also can’t help but appreciate how phenomenal the left panel is as well. Once again making great use of positive and negative space, Tim intentionally draws our attention to Cap by framing him in an inky pool surrounded by the white of the broken glass. It’s a brilliant compositional trick that ensures we don’t see the name on the foot locker until our eye finally makes its way to the bottom of the panel.

And can we take a moment to appreciate the small touch of the lock clasp in the shape of a star that connects to what resembles a small, round shield on the foot locker? Brilliant!

What a treat to be able to add this whole sequence to my collection.

Love how he spots his blacks on the right panel, not only does it draw the readers eye but the slightly askew angle helps give a sense of vertigo jumping from great heights

A great escape and brings to mind espionage comics by Steranko with Fury going up those sheer cliff walls of Scorpio's lair in Shield #1.

Tim was a huge Steranko fan and this one clearly took some inspiration from his love for the man's work.

Congrats on putting a sequence of pages together! Love the left panel and how the black space kinda looks like a silhouette of someone trying to sneak up on Cap.

This page is a master class in page design and composition.
