Description

Safety-conscious Hugo Strange says: “Always Trick-Or-Treat With A Buddy, Kids!”

Who doesn’t love a good Monster, man? A fun, beautifully Frankensteinian page showing Hugo Strange and pals casing the neighborhood in search of the house that gives out the full-size Snickers bars.

Treats abound here, as Matt Wagner bathes the page in some harsh lighting and shadows. Panel one gives us a Hugo Strange and friend (as well as the trees behind them) lit straight-on by a bright set of headlights. I love the depth of this panel, as we peer not only into the back of the truck, but beneath it: Matt’s sweet pencil shading on the axle and tire really gives texture and dimension to support the harshly-lit characters in the foreground.

A fun swamp stomp in panel 2, too, with a lovely balance of black and white.

Thank you once again, Jim! HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE! Buddy up and stay safe out there!
