What I really like about this panel is that Giovannini wasn't worried about the guy's head disappearing into the tree branches – he just thought, "Fuck it, it's a drawing, I'll just put a big halo around him."
Anything can work in a comic. That's why they're better than movies.

Packs of the Lowcountry #1 (of six) was just added to Global Comix to read digitally (for free!). This was the first full length comic I ever completed and I still maintain that it’s one hell of a fun ride: globalcomix.com/read/5b919eb...
