Notes: In this story and the next Tumlinson uses the white against black technique Jack Kirby used from the late fifties onwards to illustrate anything from energy flowing to starry skies. As the later Kirby, Tumlinson uses it for water and electricity. Blobbier, but very similar. You can see the latter in the scan for next issues Tumlinson story.
