PDSS Page 12/13 (Patreon)

Posting these together because they just read better that way. Not fully satisfied with the checkerboard page, it was planned as a double-page spread, but never really lined up quite the way I wanted it to, and as a double page spread, it mostly just wasted space. Ah well, not every page is going to be a full-on winner.

I also removed even the mildest of swears from the final script because, aside from the page layouts and "camera" angles, which I can't help but get a little more elaborate with, I wanted this book to have the "feel" of a comic from the era. All the violence, as such, is appropriate. Funny what art restrictions let you get away with historically.

Finally, The Black Dragon is a throwaway line to this guy, who won't show up. I just like the idea of utilizing his weird minions, the Deaglos, down the line if I ever returned to this universe.
