Reading Comics

A comic book page featuring the Marvel hero Daredevil.

The page is split into four equal horizontal rows.

The first row has two panels. In the first, Daredevil is falling into a pit. The villain is standing over him, holding a glowing shovel that points to the left of the page. Daredevil’s foot points to the next panel. In the second panel in this row, the villain is throwing the shovel towards the viewer’s point of view.

The shovel crosses the border to the one panel in the second row, passing by Daredevil and striking the ground.

In the third panel, which also covers the whole page horizontally, we see three faded images of Daredevil. At the top of the panel he jumps away from a tombstone and passes through the villain, looking back to his right. The other two images jump from the bottom right of the panel to strike the tombstone.

In the fourth panel, which also cover the whole page horizontally, the villain is reaching towards Daredevil. The villain’s fists are glowing and follow the same path as the leaping images of Daredevil in the last panel. Daredevil is moving to his right to escape the villain, his right arm reaching out as though to turn the page.
