Alice Issue #1

Hey! Where's the Artwork?

Panel A

Close up of the man's face. He is terrified. A gag has been bound to his mouth with surgical tape.

ALICE: "O Looking Glass creatures, draw near!"


Panel B

Pull back to full scene. The man has been bound to one of the seesaws, head down. Boogy stands aside, arms crossed, watching intently as Alice removes a large roll of black leather from her doctor's bag.

ALICE: "'Tis an honour to see me, a favour to hear,"


Panel C

Alice unrolls the leather on the ground next to the man's face. It is a set of surgical instruments: scalpels, clamps, forceps, a bone saw...

ALICE: "'Tis a privilege high to have dinner and tea,"


Panel D

The man's eyes bulge and he struggles against his bonds as Alice continues her rhyme. Alice holds up a scalpel in one hand.

ALICE: "Along with the Red Queen,"


Panel E

Same scene, Boogy is grinning his monstrous grin as the man struggles and whimpers. Alice is smiling sweetly as she displays a bone saw in her other hand.

ALICE: "The White Queen,"


Panel F

Alice's smile becomes maniacal as she leans over the man's body.

ALICE: "And me!"*
