Unknown Soldier v1 #255, 1981 - The Captain Fear story opens with a massive cannon as a focal point. It's muzzle gives the illusion of extending out into the reader's space (see interior page below).
Walt Simonson brilliantly uses this technique to quickly establish the historical era and setting. This second back-up story by the artist is as impressive as his first, rife with well planned page designs and action sequences. This story was later reprinted in
The Art of Walt Simonson. The cover by
Joe Kubert is adequate, one of many such works during this era. Other artists in this copper age comic include Ric Estrada. This is 2 of 3
