Introduction to Panel Analysis
In the quiet town of Ravenswood, the evening mist curled around the abandoned house like a shroud. Shadows stretched long and ominous, hinting at secrets lurking within. Julia stepped cautiously onto the creaking porch, her eyes darting over the dilapidated structure. As she pushed open the heavy door, a dim glow from the attic window flickered, casting an eerie light over the sagging floorboards. Each panel in this scene emphasizes the tension—using the contrast between darkness and light, the close-up of Julia’s trembling hand, and the wide shot of the looming house. These elements guide the reader’s emotional response, building suspense and curiosity.
