2019 DC
One of the best words to describe Gary Frank's art would be 'timeless', a quality that made him the perfect artist to bring a story like Doomsday Clock to life. A sprawling, existential story that sought to both break and repair DC's continuity at the same time, Frank captured snapshots of DC's history from the Golden Age to the present perfectly. A pivotal moment from the story, this page sees Dr. Manhattan observing the iconic origin of Superman throughout several iterations which works as an inventive meta commentary on DC's multiple reboots with Dr. Manhattan observing in much the same way a reader who has read the multiple depictions would. Frank also makes fantastic use of the 9-panel format, staging Manhattan only at the edges of panels as an unseen voyeur attempting to make sense of the ever shifting reality- probably the most relatable the character has ever been!
