Zip’s Last Day

(R; Crime/Horror) A corrupt FBI agent arrives in Boston to solve what looks like a murder mystery. As he tracks down clues, the case evolves into something much more bizarre. Read the story overview for more behind-the-scenes details.

This page is directly inspired by Steve Ditko’s 12-panel grid. It seemed the best way to display all this dialog on a single page. The characters speak in short call-and-response sentences, closer to real life. Cramming lots of words in single panels proved problematic. On the other hand, dividing the page into 12 equal-spaced sections shows character movement with subtlety and nuance.
