PANELS.
1. WALLY WEST
in the classic KID FLASH get up, heroic smile on his face, the background all a
blur of yellow and red as he speeds off to the rescue.
CAPTION
WEST:
Kid Flash, that’s what they called me. I was just
as quick as the real deal.
2. DONNA TROY
in her WONDER GIRL outfit stands side by side with WALLY still in his KID FLASH
costume as they prepare to face off against some unseen foe.
CAPTION
WEST:
She
was the real deal too.
3. BLACK PANEL.
CAPTION
WEST 1:
I
miss her.
CAPTION
WEST 2:
I
miss it all.
4. Close up on
WALLY WEST, he is young, around the age when he originally got the KID FLASH

WALLY
WEST:
How

WALLY

It's all so real to me. It’s as real as walking here this morning.
It's all so real to me. It’s as real as walking here this morning.

THERAPIST sits with his back to us facing WALLY.
THERAPIST:
It is all going to be ok Wally. We are going to
talk this all through.
6. Outside of
the THERAPISTS office looking in through the glass panel in the door. WALLY
looks angry, his hands clenched into fists.
WALLY
1:
Talk
this through? You don’t understand.

WALLY
2:
I
just want it to be real. I want to go back.
Unbelievably phenomenal. Reminds me of Grant Morrison's last Doom Patrol issue, but this actually hit me deeper. You managed to make me really sympathize and feel for Wally and his emotional torture, that frustration and anger and want...
ReplyDeleteThis is a powerful page you constructed, Sir. Take a bow.
Another nice piece of meta commentary (I think).
ReplyDeleteYou get across Wally's frustration in the page. Good work.
