It's a Bird...

                                                                    Part III

Written contrast: 

"Some sick bastard wrote word "kryptonite," and suddenly superman is vulnerable" (page 38)

"In action comics #1, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster declared their man "super" invulnerable. (page 33)

- In this part of book Steven Seagle mentions words "vulnerable" and "invulnerable" many time. This made me think he might mean something by this. He wants to show reader that this thing is bothering him very much about superman. 

Visual parallel:

Both Achilles and Superman are in position of "defeated" persons. They are not so immortal. They have a "weak" point.

3. "Words, words, words..."

-Words or lack of thereof- 

Are there a places where words have been omitted and the image speaks by itself? Well in whole "Part III" of the book there is not a single picture where there is not a single word written. But in previous part there are some. And those pictures usually shows face of person, even without words you can easily read his emotions.

Consider the impact of there choices. I think some pictures, especially those on which people's emotions are shown don't need word to describe what's going on. The picture speaks by itself. And because there are no words that reader would focus on, he can more focus on picture.This way picture gets more serious.

-How the words are presented-

Write about how Seagle's words are packaged within a frame or picture. He tries to never put words over someones' face, which might mean that he wants reader to see persons' emotions. Also he always uses bubbles when people speak. And he uses rectangles when there is no person shown speaking. Just picture and the words describe the picture.
