One of the nicer pages to have the painted colors for. That silhouette in the top panel really stands out.

Really cool with so much thought put into how the colors would also have to work in the overall story.

Thank you so much for posting the page without the black line overlay. It's an important look at process for an iconic piece.

The listing when it was sold did not have the overlay taken off. I didn't realize that the silhouette was all on acetate. Thought it was important for other people to be able to see that and not hide the fact. It still displays fantastic and you wouldn't display it without the Frank Miller inks on acetate so in some ways it doesn't matter, but it is good to know what it is you're buying when it's a process piece like this.
