Description

Every single time I examine the page, I marvel at how Toth created these lighting effects using only India ink, marker and negative space.

Every. Single. Time.

The art tricks the brain into seeing the illumination as three dimensional as if it were celluloid in a darkened theater. Hell, most cinematography fails to capture lighting as brilliantly as this.

Oh, and the storytelling and camera angles are terrific, too. And of course, the sound effects in the trademark Toth style, add to the drama.

Astonishing.

That onomatopoeia streaking down and exploding in panel 3 is a very nice touch. It's as if the missles are drawn as sound effects.

I love that eye and side of the soldiers head at the edge of panel 4. There are so many lighting and ink tricks here, it's just stunning. And that onomatopoeia is doing battle. BLAM KABOOM! This is a gorgeous Toth page. Big congrats!
