Strong rule: style --- Comic Book ---. A young American man in his late teens, sturdy blue-collar build, short brown hair, standing in his driveway holding the opened draft notice. His expression is one of shock and dawning dread. The paper in his hands casts a dark, heavy shadow over his clean-shaven, innocent face. The previously bright suburban background is now muted and slightly blurred, emphasizing his isolation. Comic book art style, dramatic lighting, emotional intensity. Format: horizontal/landscape. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - The Narrator (Pre-War): A young American man in his late teens or early twenties, circa late 1960s. He has a sturdy, athletic blue-collar build, short neatly combed brown hair, and a clean-shaven, innocent, optimistic face. He wears a classic white t-shirt and blue denim jeans with a slight grease smudge, embodying a classic Midwestern mechanic vibe. The lighting is warm, golden hour sunlight reflecting off his surroundings, conveying nostalgia and hope. Comic book art style, strong ink lines, vibrant vintage colors, highly detailed, expressive features, classic Americana aesthetic.
