One thing I love about this story is juxtaposing things that are extreme opposites.

Juxtapose that with Norton, who is very young and scared of the world around him.

Ones in this urban center while the others out in this bucolic rural setting.

Its fun to take a contrast like that and make an interesting tension.

Its a good time for horror stories these days.

2017 also saw the new film adaptation of Stephen KingsItbecomethe highest-grossing horror movie of all time.

Madness is a tricky thing to convey on pages, actually.

I played a lot with the angles and the layouts.

Like the panel itself is limiting Nortons view of the world around him.
