From Beyond the Veil…
At first glance this page seems pretty simple. Our protagonists pray (one unselfishly, the other not-so-much) and The Black Pirate appears out of the crowd.
But, looks can be deceiving. A lot had to be worked out and come together to make this page work; to sell the effect of the Mardi Gras revelers “freezing” in time upon the Black Pirate’s entrance. In the script we suggest that the crowd fade to black and white, and it was Danilo who suggested bringing the pink hue into the sky to tie back to the Pirate’s island in “Forever.” And then, of course, Angela had to ACTUALLY pull it off. All together, I think it works.
These kinds of storytelling collaborations are what makes comics such a rewarding medium to work within. For me, at least.
But ignore all the POPPYCOCK, dear reader! Be here NEXT WEEK as the BLACK PIRATE takes CENTER STAGE…
Till next time!

Be careful what you wish for; you might just get it.
An age old tale, you might say…
Great page! Are we still in the Big Easy, or have we moved on to the Next Town Over?
I have a feeling you’ve linked us to that comic before. The art is tremendous!
Oh this aint good at all. Here and I thought the two would just have to outrun the cops, this is way worse.
Nothing is ever simple when it comes to the Deep Dive Daredevils.
I hate when that happens!
I always barely finished paying off my last soul, when a need to mortgage my new one pops up.
It’s a scam I tell you…
Souls…Can’t live with ‘em, go straight to hell without ‘em.
