AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In two original consecutive pages (layout/pencils) by the British master Simon Bisley for the series “13 Coins”, published by Titan Comics. These pages come from issue 2 of the angelic-dystopian saga created by Martin Brennan and Michael B. Jackson.
Details of the work:
Author: Simon Bisley.
Series: 13 Coins #2.
Technique: Pencil on drawing paper. Characteristic "Biz" style with a masterful use of chiaroscuro and hyper-developed anatomy.
Content:
Page 4: An atmospheric scene in a venue ("Dragon Garden") with excellent close-ups of the protagonists.
Page 9: A pure action sequence with the kidnapping of the protagonist, complete with hand-drawn onomatopoeia ("SKREEEEE!").
Support: The pages are mounted on a black protective board, as often happens for Bisley’s works intended for galleries or private collectors.
Details about the Story (13 Coins #2)
The Protagonist: The pages depict John Pozner, a tormented man who discovers he is the key to an ancient war between exiled angels (the Sons of Gods) and the guardians of humanity.
The Venue Scene (Page 4): We see John in a moment of tension in the "Dragon Garden". Bisley uses these panels to build the sense of paranoia surrounding the protagonist before his life is upended.
Kidnapping (Page 9): This is a pivotal sequence of the issue. John is attacked and dragged away by figures in tactical suits, a scene that showcases Bisley’s skill in handling the "controlled chaos" and the violent movement.
These pages are particularly meaningful because they represent the turning point of issue #2: the shift from the tense calm of the first part of the issue to the explosion of violence in Pozner’s kidnapping. Having two pages from the same issue allows appreciating the narrative continuity of Bisley’s layout.
