Citizen Zero
1st Issue
Page One
Layout-Seven Panels Six small running down the length and one large
panel dominating page

Panel One-Alarm Clock starts buzzing at 6:00 am in the darkness

Panel Two-Hand reaches out and slaps alarm

Panel Three- Alarm Clock starts buzzing at 6:10 am in the darkness

Panel Four- Hand reaches out and slaps alarm

Panel Five- Alarm Clock starts buzzing at 6:20 am in the darkness

Panel Six-Alarm disappears in "swoop action"

Panel Seven-shot from behind in bathroom, with Mark staring into the
mirror. He's leaning forward, and in the light the mirror shows the
"bucky" raccoon eyes. In front of him there's a couple bottles of
brightly colored pills. In the background, through the door, a
shattered alarm clock sits. He wears a sleeveless undershirt, a dog
tag chain without the tags, and a few days of unshaven facial hair.
Scratchy thoughtboxes

Mornings are the worst

The headaches

Every day I wake up I am reminded.

The only easy day was yesterday

Layout-
New Scene, though Mark's internal dialog continues (same color boxes,
same text). Now it's outside, crescent moon over wheat fields. Dawn
threatens.

Panel One-Close up of the runner head shaved, wearing scrubs,
sprinting with an animal tag stapled to his left ear. Shot is over
right shoulder, so this is difficult to see.

It would help to have something to get up for.

Panel Two-Pan back as he runs through half grown wheat. A shadow of
dawn threatens in the distant horizon, but nothing more than an
afterthought of color.

Something to care about

Panel Three-He hits a fence and starts climbing quickly, but now we
are looking at him through crosshairs, illuminated by muted, red
light.

But Dakota traps worse than any prison

Panel Four-The target jerks, obviously hit, still sighted through the sights.

No one gets out.

Panel Five-pan back, figure standing, in the wheat. A bolt action
rifle has been lowered slightly, smoking, and he appears as little
more than a silhouette. His smile can be made out, but little else.
He has a high and tight haircut.

No one
