American Comic Single Panel Prompts

One frame doing all the work, western-comic style. These prompts borrow from pin-up and splash-page composition rather than sequential storytelling: a single dramatic camera angle, heavy spot blacks, and a caption box or onomatopoeia carrying whatever narration a second panel would have delivered. Because there is no gutter to hide behind, they specify lighting direction and figure staging far more tightly than the multi-panel prompts do.
