Dishonored frames. You can think of them as standalone stories.

I’ve been reading a book on visual storytelling, and I wanted to test out Marcos Mateu-Mestre’s principles using Dishonored characters. I decided to stick to black and white to make it a bit more challenging.

And hey, for the 4th frame—do you guys remember that audio log in the Abbey’s interrogation room about the captured whaler?

Dishonored fanfic: The Outsider's Gift

teaser for - Chapter 3: The Flood -

The animal-like terror had left me and now there was nothing left but hollow exhaustion. My feet stumbled forward on their own and I didn’t know or care where they led me.

I looked up dully when I realized my feet had stopped. The street I was walking along ended at the edge of murky, green water.

I knelt down on the edge of the Flood and scooped up handfuls of water with shaking hands, numbly scrubbing at my skin and hair to wash away the weeper gore. The water wasn’t clean, but it was better than whatever had been in that cart.

Slackjaw.  Weeper.  Weepers are sufferers of the rat plague in the last stages of the disease. They squat in various abandoned areas throughout Dunwall, such as the Distillery District and the Flooded District, and their numbers increase with chaos.

Dark Victory by George Brewer Jr. and Bertram Bloch. Directed by Robert Milton. Scenery by Robert Edmond Jones. Costumes by Elsa Schiaparelli. Opened at the Plymouth Theater on November 7, 1934, and closed on December 29, 1934.

Judith Traherne………………Tallulah Bankhead Dr. Frederick Steele………….Earle Larimore Alden Blaine…………............Ann Andrews Josie………………................Myra Hampton Leslie Clarke…………...........Dwight Fiske Dr. Parsons…………….........Frederick Leister Miss Wainwright……………..Mildred Wall Miss Jenny………….............Helen Strickland Michael……………...............Edgar Norfolk Postman…………….............Lewis Dayton

This play made the rounds of Broadway and Hollywood, with Tallulah Bankhead rejecting it as a screen vehicle and Katharine Hepburn initially agreeing to play it in summer stock before changing her mind. Then Jock Whitney convinced Bankhead, his sometime-lover, to star in a Broadway production, telling her that Maxwell Anderson had doctored the script.

The play, which Robert Benchley described as “Camille without all the coughing,” was a four-handkerchief weeper about a spoiled, hedonistic socialite who discovers she has not long to live. (One newspaper reported that several members of the first-night audience passed out due to the intensely realistic medical examination scene.) She falls in love with her doctor and mends her wicked ways before succumbing bravely to her fate.

Dark Victory received generally good reviews, especially for Bankhead’s performance, but did not do well at the box office. Variety thought that Depression audiences wanted lighthearted entertainment to make them forget the grim realities of life: “Tragedy has a place in the theatre, but it seems so much vexation has plagued the people that they prefer to be amused instead of going through an ordeal.” Regardless, the play ran only 51 performances because Bankhead discovered that she, too, had a life-threatening illness (unlike the play’s heroine, she recovered).

One person who caught the play during its brief run was Bette Davis. She persuaded Warner Brothers to produce a film version, with George Brent (with whom she was having an affair) as the doctor. Davis openly admitted to having emulated Bankhead’s performance. She was nominated for an Oscar but lost to Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind.
