Hey! Where's the Artwork?


Panel A

Alice faces off against Baba Yaga and her demons across the threshold of Tommy's door. She has taken a defensive stance, as though she means to prevent the monsters from invading Tommy's room. Baba Yaga just smiles.

ALICE: "What are you doing out of your cage, old woman?"

BABA YAGA: "I want the bag, of course."


Panel B

The face-off continues. Alice brandishes a scalpel from the doctor's bag. Alice is furious, but Baba Yaga is calm. The demons gathered in the hallway look ready for a fight.

ALICE: "It's your life, witch. Let's see what you got."

BABA YAGA: "Oh I have no intention of fighting you. That's not why I'm here."


Panel C

The face-off continues. Baba Yaga holds up Boogy's hat in one withered hand. Alice seems surprised and frightened.

ALICE: "Then why?"

BABA YAGA: "To propose a trade. One bag for one Boogeyman, slightly used."


Panel D

Alice seems to shrink in defeat. Her arms fall to her sides, her head bowed. Baba smirks at her distress.
