Space Cabby – Special Delivery – Travis M. Holyfield


Panel 1: Exterior. Deep space. Cab #7433 zips through the panel, with four members of the Green Lantern Corps in hot pursuit. One of the Lanterns has created a giant megaphone and is yelling through it.

GREEN LANTERN: YOU IN THE CAB! YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF GALACTIC SPEED LIMITS AND TRAVEL SAFETY LAWS! HALT AT ONCE AND SHUT DOWN YOUR VEHICLE’S DRIVE SYSTEM!


Panel 2: Interior of the cab. Space Cabby’s hat is cocked back on his head, and he is sweating from tension.

SPACE CABBY: Sorry, fellas! I’m normally a very law-abiding sort, but I’ve got a lady in here about to have a baby!


Panel 3: Close-up on Space Cabby’s hand grabbing the thrust control for his cab.
 
Panel 4: Close-up of Space Cabby slamming the thrust control to full.    
 
Panel 5: Exterior. The Green Lanterns pull up short as the Cab blasts away from them.  

Panel 6: Interior. Space Cabby looks into his rear view mirror.

SPACE CABBY: Don’t you worry now, ma’am. We’ll be at that Med Vessel in no time! 


Panel 7: Interior. The back seat of the cab. LOBO is dressed like a pregnant woman – big flowered dress, big flowered hat. His hand is clutched over a fake stomach, which is likely concealing a bag of ill-gotten gains.

LOBO: Heh.

  1. Awesome. Perfect example of a done in one page that tells you everything you need to know and let's your imagination do the rest. Panel 7's a kick. Well done, Travis...
