Important page from DETECTIVE COMICS #416 by Frank Robbins.
Why is it important? Because comics. You could try to translate this to prose or cinema or cutscene or whatever, but it would only be an approximation of the power that comics gives us to dissect time and poke around it and choose what’s important (out of what the artists choose to present to us, the viewer.)
Everything matters on this page.

The Flash #123, September 1961, cover by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson
The Flash: Rebirth #5, January 2010, cover by Ethan Van Sciver
If there’s a more succinct visual to show just how drastically superhero comics have changed between 1961 and 2010 I haven’t seen it.
Classic painted covers from The Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love, the short-lived gothic horror romance series from DC Comics, 1971-72.
