Strong rule: style --- Comic Book ---. Comic Book style, horizontal landscape. A grim, historical transition scene. The bright modern colors fade into a dark, bloody, sepia-toned or deep crimson palette. A ghostly, transparent overlay of a burning 1980s oil tanker is superimposed over the map of the Strait of Hormuz. The artwork uses heavy crosshatching, stark black shadows, and a gritty, distressed texture to evoke a dark, violent precedent and the sheer, terrifying gravity of the bottleneck's history.
