“A ghost is something waiting to happen.”Some of our stories obey the rules of logic - but dreams are also a kind of truth, and bad things are more sinister when they happen to the blameless. Not everything is always explained and neatly tied up. There are often loose ends that will leave you uneasy. Rod Serling would be at home here.

“Reality and fantasy are not opposites, but different ways of looking at the same thing.”

Actually taking that amazing intro panel out of context really does make you appreciate how incredibly atmospheric that drawing is with it's Expressionistic angles and low light source transforming the shadow of the lodger into a truly menacing presence.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. It's possible to get so engrossed in the flow of a Ditko story that one misses the brilliance of individual panels like that.
