A word of advice, when picking panels. If a double page spread is your choice, make sure it really is a SINGLE PANEL. And by this, I mean keeping in mind that panel borders are not necessarily required for there to be multiple scenes/actions within a "single" panel.

That TEEN TITANS spread, a few posts up from this one, for instance, contains EIGHT separate and distinct actions by the characters. All happening in the same space at the same time, but making that image something considerably more than a "single panel".

By contrast, my WEST COAST AVENGERS spread on the previous page of this thread IS a single panel -- the double page spread is used for visual impact, the comicbook equivalent of having a camera pull back to reveal.

To really qualify as a single panel, in most cases the image should contain a single action.

Aaron, it's from LOVE AND ROCKETS. Art by Jaime Hernandez. Here's another of my faves from that series:


Also, this. Instantly struck me as having a JB vibe:

Three panels came immediately to my mind.  First, the opening page to the Dynamo story, "A Slight Case of Battle Fatigue" from T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #16.  It is by Wally Wood and it is a thing of beauty.  I do not have a scanner to scan the image and I could not find it on line.

The other is Iron Man putting all of the power he has left in his armor for one punch to knock out The Incredible Hulk.


This was very dramatic for me to see and read.  Baron Blood has always been a neat character and a favorite of mine from first seeing him in The Invaders comic book.  The reaction from Union Jack here says it all.


The battle leading up to that panel should be remembered as one of the best fights in comics.
