Notice panels two and four are from the same source material, so I later decided to substitute the second close-up with a different Francis Bacon pope painting. As for those other curved lines, I think I planned to use that as a background texture somewhere, but I don’t remember where, and I don’t see it anywhere.
I spoke with my best friend, Gerry Chow, about making this a ful color comic, and below is his colored version from 2015. Notice I swapped Panel 2’s image with Panel 2 of Page 13. I felt the emphasis of the close up was more important for “burning in hell” than for “carriers!”
When I decided that I should infuse this project with as many direct references to actual works of art as possible, instead of altering or moving the painting compositions into different poses for example (read more on Page 008 – Commentary), I decided I needed to reverse Panel 6 and take them directly from works of art.
