Among the other details, I’ve always appreciated the way the colors in the six panels evoke their sources, esp. panels 4 and 6. I wonder if six panels of abstract color palates could produce a similar effect. Limiting yourself to just colors is a pretty tight constraint!
Also like that the star emblem returns in panel 6, since Ware had his own version of super-man in some of his comics.
Thanks, Rick! Yeah, I’m sure there’s some interesting stuff to be done with abstract but associative color schemes. There’s an artist named Sherrie Levine who has made some lovely abstract color grid prints that are derived from the palettes of various famous paintings http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?object_id=65712
