I mentioned in my previous commentary for Page 14 – Drafts<\/a> that I had enough material in that original page, I wound up deciding to “widen” it into three pages. Below you can see (again) that original page’s scan and first draft, and how this current page only contains one small panel from it – Agent Anger winking and giving the A-OK sign. Basically, panel one became Page 14 – Published<\/a>, panels 2 and 3 became Page 15 – Published<\/a>, and the bottom half became the basic theme of this page, but I decided on a different vehicle!\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

As I explained in Page 14 – Drafts<\/a>, I realized I wanted to have a full battle sequence in Book Two, in which it would be necessary for Agent Anger to be flying his bi-plane, so it gave me the opportunity to swap it out for later, and use the helicopter below, instead, for this sequence. I drew the below additions on 8\/6-8\/8\/14, basically five years after the first draft above.<\/p>\n

At this early stage, I had envisioned additional scenes where Agent Anger would operate the same vehicles.\u00a0 So for example, he’s flying from the U.S. to Europe now, and then he would fly back in the same helicopter. As the project progressed, I decided he should only be allowed to use each vehicle once, and then he’d need a new vehicle. This would showcase as many vehicles as possible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After drawing the above, I followed the original template of having a map underneath, since they did something similar in Indiana Jones.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can see above, in addition to the vehicle and a map (as I discussed in Page 14 – Drafts), I had an agent wish him good luck. This is taken from a photo of Igor Sikorski, the inventor of the Vought Sikorski VS-300. I thought this made for a fun in-joke (that no one would ever get).<\/p>\n

Below, my best friend, Gerry Chow<\/a> colored this draft of the page in 2015.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Later (MUCH later – October 2020, when I had nearly completed the project!), I thought, why am I including Sikorsky<\/em> as a spy? That doesn’t really go with the theme of what I had by then begun trying to establish. And he doesn’t even have a mask! I decided I should use this early opportunity to showcase a bunch<\/em> of spies, to give a glimpse of exactly what this agency is!\u00a0 And that’s when I swapped out Mr. Sikorsky for\u00a0four<\/em> spies.\u00a0 And making room for them meant swapping the map out with one of a different shape, for space.<\/p>\n
