Mister Miracle – Cheat – Ben Rosenthal




1.  FULL PAGE SPLASH
Mister Miracle is slumped  in a couch in a typical middle-class home.  He is watching a TV with a bottle of beer in his hand.  He looks bored, tired and dejected.  He hates his life.


CAPTION
Could it be?  Our MIRACLE MAN ensnared and cannot escape?  Can Mister Miracle escape from the trickiest trap yet – the dysfunctional relationship!

WIFE (off panel)
Have  you taken out the garbage yet?

MISTER MIRACLE
I will in a minute--

MISTER MIRACLE (smaller, under his breath so his wife does not hear)
--Your Highness.

  1. The idea for this page is fun, you play with the notion of escape and combine it with a very true to life situation. It works perfectly here as a splash page. It lets you let up and hit the fun angle of the idea in one sweet image so it doesn't seem forced or over complicated. Fun page mate.

  2. Haha. I also don't image Barda would take too kindly to this interpretation, but it makes for a fun little read.
