| The Harbinger #1 Cover A by Robbi Rodriguez |
Recently, Valiant Comics generously released a second set of preview pages for The Harbinger #1. I thought I'd briefly take a brief look at Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou's lettering from the first page from that release.
The blue of Peter's monologue in the rounded narrative box reminds me of the blue bird on the old Harbinger flag he has clothed himself in. The red lettering of the sound effects jars with this light blue. The 3D look of those sound effects makes me feel as though some of them are shooting toward me.
Hassan represents the thoughts of passersby (which Peter, as a psiot, overhears) in jagged yellow scraps of paper. While reminiscent of the little sticky notes Hassan used in Savage #3, the torn edges of these seem to shout "Danger!" I also like the flaring light of the public announcement on the bottom right. Without any arrows, you know it's being broadcast from the approaching helicopters.
How about the sounds of those approaching helicopters? Again, more great 3D sound effects from Hassan.
Just studying this one page is enough to make me "Huf huf huf" like Peter.
Like he says...
Once again, love your great lettering work on The Harbinger #1, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou!
