Description

I truly love Kyle Baker's fun, animation-influenced drawing style, and this panel from his run on Plastic Man cracks me the hell up. After the presumed death of Billy Batson � aka the "Shazam!" Captain Marvel � , his kid sister, Mary Marvel, delivers a touching eulogy at his funeral, a speech explaining how it's important for superheroes to wear bright and colorful costumes so they can be good examples to children. What makes this should-be-poignant moment funny is the sight of an earnest Mary delivering this tear-jerking monologue as she poses with her butt in the camera and her unusually large (for her, anyway) lightning bolt-emblazoned sweater-goblins jutting out over the dais, while the Catholic dominatrix-look Huntress, a bippy-shirted Supergirl, and a bosomy phalanx of Catwoman, the Black Canary, and Power Girl stand by in solidarity, each with her dairies on prominent display as a priest fights to tear his eyes away from the superheroic boob parade. And in case you're wondering how this penciled page is the final art used for the published version, allow me to explain. Kyle drew the book in pencil, then scanned the artwork and futzed about with it in Photoshop to attain the desired results for the finished product. It looked great finished, but I love the fleshiness of pencil art in general and this piece in particular.
