Brownhole Jones ( a la Howard Pyle ) by Mannion

It's a style you don't often see from Mannion.  He pulls it off with the strained emotion in the main panel. 

Beauty.

Wow! that's really something different for Steve Mannion! I love the Howard Pyle reference. I've always admired Pyle's work in those classic adventure novels and I like the idea of borrowing from his style. And Steve does capture something of Pyle's illustration style here. Love the image of the shipwrecked man on a beach and the young woman finding him, and cradling his head on her shoulder. It's a very sweet page, very different for Steve. I also love the rope-like border, another nod to classic book illustrations. Fantastic pick-up, congrats!
