Next Page I have to give John Kissee most of the credit for the success of this page. As written, this page was meant to be the page that leaves the reader thinking "He's going out there to kick some..." you get the idea. That was the way it was written, anyway. Stone looks over the city, deep in the shadows of his apartment, and he's about to return to it, gun in hand, ready for some action.
Only John drew him wearing these ridiculous underwear which undercut that concept... yet added a whole new element that I was blown over with. In fact, my first reaction upon seeing this page was to laugh. John, fearful he had screwed up, offered to redo the page. I told him there was no way I'd have him change it!
For what John added to the character of Stone was hilarity and, concurrently, dangerous insanity. Is Allen Stone all there? Should a guy dressed like this be holding a gun?!
