Big Climax, Little Boom.

ADVENTURES IN PULP WRITER'S COMMENTARY

DICK RUBY AND THE CASE OF THE LITTLE GREEN MEN PAGE 13
http://adventuresinpulp.com/dick-ruby-page-13/

            There is not much to say on this one. On the first page we establish that the tale begins with a dame and ends with a bang on top of the Empire State Building. We played fair. No cheating. Here it is.
 
            Originally scripted as only three panels: Ruby firing. The big boom and the aftermath.

            Matt played my panel one out over three panels. I absolutely love the expressions he puts on Dick's face. Then, brilliantly, instead of having a big panel with a big explosion he pulled back with a small boom. It seems counterintuitive but works amazingly well. The aftermath he breaks up into two panels as well, which gives us a nice post climactic breath. So here we wrapped the meat of the story and I wondered if anyone would come back the following week for the single epilogue page that would button everything down.
