Description

I bought the page below after pondering about it and staring at it on the artist’s rep’s website for ... TWO YEARS. I know, a real impulse buy.

The reason I took so long to get it is because it would have been - and indeed is - the first page of modern OA that I have bought and that falls outside of my original comic art collecting mission statement. Although I have a very narrow collecting focus, I do read a copious amount of modern comics. I was worried that buying this page would be a gateway drug to completely derailing my collecting mandate, and I’ll just end up haphazardly buying pages from modern OA left right and centre, without any consideration of theme or focus. I had to work out in my mind exactly where this art would fit in my collection if I was to say, set up a museum of all my art. What would be the name/theme of the room that this art would be displayed in, and how would it relate to all the other art in my collection. So it took pondering and ruminating for some two years before I could decide to buy this art.

This is a perfectly constructed page that clearly and succinctly tells a unit of story, without even the need for the dialogue bubbles. The first panel is an establishing shot that places the protagonist right in the centre. It also sets up the overall geography of the place and all the surrounding players. Even the half eaten apple on the table helps with the reader’s understanding of the geography of the classroom, whilst also serving a dual purpose of saying something about the kind of school this is. The ‘camera’ in Panel 2 cuts in the opposite direction without crossing the line and shows the meek teacher entering. The placement of the couple helps the reader quickly understand where the camera is cutting to and what is happening. The third panel, which is right in the centre of the page, places its full focus on the protagonist (Robbie Reyes). It also sets up the antagonists in the background. The fourth panel links back to the first two panels involving the teacher, before the rest of the page moves onto dealing with the relationship and mood between the protagonist and antagonist.

I’d say this page is intricate enough to be Watchmen-esque level of craft. It has SO MANY story elements and SO MUCH art to look at and appreciate, that work both as individual elements and as a complete page.

Many thanks to Felix Comic Art for an easy transaction.
