The Wonder Twins - Warren Ellis Saturday Morning - Travis M. Holyfield

Panel 1: ZAN and JAYNA stand facing us. The artwork is typical Saturday morning cartoon, Hanna Barbera style. The Wonder Twins look extremely nervous.

ZAN: I don't know, Jayna. How we can be sure they're in there?

JAYNA: This is our only lead, Zan! What else can we do?


Panel 2: Closeup of the twins fist-bumping.

BOTH (OFF-PANEL): WONDER TWINS POWERS - ACTIVATE!


Panel 3: Zan shouts and thrusts his fist into the sky, Wavy transformation lines lead from his body to a bucket of ice, indicating his transformation.

ZAN: SHAPE OF... A BUCKET OF ICE!


Panel 4: Jayna shouts and thrusts her fist into the sky, Wavy transformation lines lead from her body to a burly, heavyset, hirsute man in "leather daddy" garb, indicating her transformation.

JAYNA: FORM OF... A BEAR!


Panel 5: We now reverse the view from the first panel so that we are behind the Wonder Twins, so that we can see past them to what they are looking at: A grotty, manky, disreputable bar. The sign above the door says "JACK HAMMER'S" This is to be the apotheosis of every gay bar from every "Police Academy" type movie from the 80s. rendered lovingly in Hanna Barbera house style.

ZAYNA: Don't worry, Batman and Robin! We'll save you!
