Frank Frollo drew for Funny Picture Stories #11 (Nov 1938) one of the most economical comic book action sequences I’ve ever read.
Probably in the interest of filling space Frollo decompressed the action so far that often a pivotal panel has all the typical excitement one would expect from an Indiana Jones-type adventurer occurring off page and is merely implied. Many of the characters don’t react to what should be a frightening or anxious moment and are depicted either staring at objects, gesturing or not reacting at all.
The lion threatening one of the characters is about a half mile away, something that doesn’t really inspire tension and even the captions in the word balloons are spaced out, making it appear that everyone speaks while interjecting extended pauses.
While hero Jack Strand contemplating an open gate for an unknown time prior to climbing over an uncompleted crowd barrier is amusing, the most glaring example of economical artistry or script not matching the finished product is the hilarious scene where the enraged lion leaps from the arena and rushes into the crowd of spectators. Not that you’d know it from reading the story.
