SPECTRUM #3

PAGE TWO

PANEL ONE: FLASHBACK: RICHIE gets given a piece of paper by AGENT CASPER.

CASPER:
Read this. Memorize it. This is your cover story should anyone ask.

RICHIE:
“An atmospheric disturbance…”

PANEL TWO: BACK TO THE PRESENT. Richie continues the explanation he has memorized.

RICHIE:
…ionized the air around me, making the lights and colors and shocked me unconscious. Turns out it was just a weather anomaly.

PANEL THREE: RICHIE speaks to EDDIE and KELLY, who are just staring at him like they don’t believe a word.

RICHIE:
Just weather. And science. That’s all.

RICHIE2:
Guys?

PANEL FOUR: EDDIE & KELLY burst out laughing.

EDDIE & KELLY:
BWAA HA HA HA HA!

PANEL FIVE: EDDIE and KELLY react to RICHIE’s BS.

EDDIE:
Man, you are the worst liar!

KELLY:
Did you rehearse that line?? Needs work!

PANEL SIX: RICHIE, starting to panic, keeps trying to sell it.

RICHIE:
But…but that’s what happened!
