There's no finding Nemo in that aquarium ;)
No, but you may find Dennis the Sea Bass.
"Come on kid, give it up! Dennis always gets his man"
The layout is awesome. Three widescreen panels with the vertical breal in the first two only to slow the pacing down. The page is showing all the usual decor crime boss' all have. I would guess Bermejo did all the wash himself in the first panel and told Gray to step aside there.
You are correct Marcus. The top 2 panels are 100% Bermejo. Showing off his inking skills and ink wash technique. I just added a description to my listing as well.
Also, thanks for your analysis of the broken panels and the pacing. Some sublime storytelling on this slow and "quiet" page. Makes me want to slow down and stay in the penthouse for a while with Johnny before the Joker comes back. Azzarello and Bermejo put a lot of thought into every panel of this GN which is why the storytelling is so strong. Everything visually serves a purpose.
I absolutely love that panel through the fish tank!
(Waiving a time piece) "When I count to three, you will give this page to me...1...2...3...."
Love the detail!
The page we discussed, sweet pickup! Can't go wrong with Bermejo.
Once again I ignored your input and went with my gut. 😂 But yeah, you can't go wrong with any Bermejo Joker page!
Ooh that second panel ...So cool! The whole page is a masterpiece. Congrats!
Best bang for the buck of the pgs that came up recently. Love how the first panel mirrors the Joker smoking on the bottom of the previous page. Wish my city apartment was a nice as Jokers, jeeze!
Did that you got the 2 differnent looks on this page, with the grey tones up top vs the B&W only at the bottom. Definitely makes for a nice visual contrast, I'm sure more so in person. Congrats!
