There's not a LOT here that wasn't already touched upon visually in the first chapter of HJ, but we do find out more about who was in Antarctica, ostensibly why, and specifically where.

Here it is, finally! So many apologies for the many delays. I won’t make excuses beyond, a lot has been going on (of course). But we’re back now and heading on!

The look of the room is modeled after reference for both U.S. and Soviet nuclear science and observation rooms from the 1950s. It’s a good while after the “now” time in the comic (1946), but I’m hopefully showing that something has happened in the past to push technology both forward and off to the side. Add to that my additions of a few scifi elements and most making everything more vast, and there you go. Base things in reality and move out from there is the primary approach for the scifi/punk elements of HighJump.

A welcome is in order!

There's a few things I can talk about in relation to this comic. In contrast to the previous pages, which were all dark and claustrophobic, we're suddenly in a bright area, with ridiculously wide and tall spaces.  The click of her heels against the terrazzo tiles is also meant to work as a transition from the previous comic, with the clanging of the many feet upon the floor. That one would probably be more apparent in the eventual (knock on wood) print edition.
