Description

Sometimes, you like a page� just because.

Because of the theme? Because of the composition? Because of the way the artist uses design to contrast light and darkness? Because you have a special fondness for the comic book series? All of that? Something completely different?

I think this X-files page appeals to me for all of the reasons above and more. Obviously not what collectors typically think of when they think of a cool splash page. (Among its many quirks, you can�t see the characters� faces.) But for me, something about this just works.

I�ve always loved science fiction and unexplained phenomena and the X-Files was a great combination of the two And I consider myself fortunate to have published the franchise twice: Once at Topps Comics during the show�s first-run heyday, and then 20 years later at IDW Publishing, where I remain convinced that our comics drove the renewed interest in the franchise.

Love this! Besides loving the X-Files, I really dig stained glass in comic pages. It usually has such a dramatic impact. Curious here why the stained glass has more of a cartoony feel? Was this relevant to the story or just Charlie's style?

Oddly, the stain Glass itself is aconbination original art correction / stat on the board. Matbe he has trouble with it?

But I think that was style, as opposed to story.
