      Comics folks--do we have a name or good descriptive language for pages (or clusters of panels) that overlay different time periods or moments, juxtaposing various kinds of temporal progressions? Examples from Multiversity: Pax Americana, Somerset Holmes #3, Here, Jimmy Corrigan.pic.twitter.com/2OpJgHr22p

      The polyptych was a storytelling tool Gene Day went to often. Here are some examples from his second and third issues as artist* on The Hands of Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu written by Doug Moench, #102 and #103. (*Prior, he had inked much of Mike Zeck's pencils.) pic.twitter.com/DeyWddYWOT

      The polyptych only applies to some parts of these, where a shared background/scene is split by gutters. In. These examples, there are multiple time frames as well, in addition to one or many polyptychs.

      Maybe “multi-temporal polyptychs”?

      Sure, that works. Although isn't panel always a discrete unit of time? Richard McGuire's innovations here very interesting.

          Circling back to this thread, I think it's showing off comics capacity for simultaneity as discuss in my rhizomatic pg which references page from Watchmen (& I feel like McCloud's pg is also referencing it). Falling pg in Watchmen feels like it does what Multiversity is homagingpic.twitter.com/bf7fMRLTRS

          comics page in 9 panels, banyan tree and other imagery stretch through all panels which make a continuous scene, buddha is in center and speaks from center panel - making a joke about ordering a hotdog, make me "one with everything"
          page from Watchmen, 9panel grid, scenes of Dr. Manhattan and Silk Specter on mars with two panels of her memories of her past. Center panel closeup included here as well
          Excerpt from Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics - and then the center panel compared to the previous Watchmen example - both talking about time and space on the comics page
          page from Watchmen - 9panel grid structure, though center panel and middle row right are smooshed to make one (so 8 in total). In top middle panel, first panel 2nd row and first panel 3rd row, all red tinted, single scene of man falling from way up high on a building to the street

          I think the static nature of comics is actually a superpower, it allows sequential reading but the all-at-once kind of discoveries that can be made exploring at our own speed & different directions - allowing nonnarrative things to work so wellhttps://twitter.com/Nsousanis/status/1532391393557065728?s=20&t=m9szaXJHwc44RNklV8B4Eg …

          Nick Sousanis added,

          an extremely complex 2-page spread in black & white. There are a lot of circles - i lost track of how many. Upper left 5 concentric circles - 4 outer rings split in segments - each with a different type of cell, the center a stem cell. Below, a circle with blueprint grid, with multiple drawings of a baby. Rising upward, a ton of small circles with tiny drawings of the inner workings of a cell, the scaffolding that helps find the center of the cell & split the cell. On right half of spread up top (text boxes facilitate reading flow) circular panels with the early stages of the blastocyst - branching off from this is another series of circles showing progression of Sierpinski’s Triangle. Below is a large cropped circle, upon which are a number of examples of the Game of Life. Overlaying this are a series of segmented rings in 3D, each segment functioning as a panel. Those panels contain some of the development of body plan for the cell, the latter sets of rings shows somite formation

          So this took me a while… After the entire semester working on this spread(!), finally finished & wanted to share a complete image of it. It’s been a journey learning everything & figuring out how to fit it all together but pleased to be moving onward! #nostos #unflattening 2 pic.twitter.com/jEOD4MjBHt
