Introduction to Panel Analysis
In the shadowed alleyway, a solitary figure paused, shadows cloaking their features. The flickering streetlamp cast unreliable light, illuminating only fragments of the scene. The figure’s eyes darted nervously between the looming buildings, a silent tension thick in the air. Despite the quiet, an ominous feeling persisted, as if unseen eyes watched from the darkness, waiting for the right moment to strike. The panel captures the hushed anticipation and the tension of the moment through a combination of visual cues and sparse dialogue, heightening the atmosphere of suspense.
