The soothing sound of ocean waves is a good sleep aid ;)
Really glad the brothers found their way back to each other, especially if it was based on a true story but either way it's a nice way to close out this complete story. Thanks for sharing it all, I enjoyed each page. Alsio issue 7 sounds like a banger - that monologue/narrator dialogue about war you mentioned is really poignant. Have you seen any art from it out there at all?
Thanks, Kavi. I'm glad you enjoyed the story! The brothers are fictional. I edited the description to clarify. I appreciate your comments about issue #7. Poignant - good word! That was the word I couldn't think of while writing the description. I took another look at #7 and only now notice that Sam edited sentences in word balloons by hand like he did in the Midway story, and that he does it more often. Funny how looking at an artist's original art brings out things you never noticed before in their comics. Have I seen any art from that issue? I saw a page in auction a number of years ago before I became absorbed in published art. A major war art collector has pages in his impressive CAF gallery.
The colors are great with the sun just at the horizon giving the skies different hues and signalling hope of a rescue.
The previous page had all the nice rendering and lighting techniques i nthe top 3 panels, and now this page has that in the bottom 3 panels! A fun, daily romp through the Battle of Midway. Congrats on owning the complete story, Peter, and thanks for sharing it with us!
Nice conclusion to the story!
