Chapter 1 – Page 87
In today’s update, DUCK AND COVER.
This is hands down my favourite page I’ve drawn this chapter. Splash some red on this page instead of black and you have yourself a vintage piece of constructivist war propaganda, neatly encapsulating in one succinct shot the sheer terror of bombardment from above by an ineffable, indiscriminate, technologically advanced adversary. If anyone wants this as a poster I’d be happy to take commissions.
