Comment
Je pense que cette planche élégamment composée est un bon exemple de l'art et de la narration de Chaykin des années 80, qui sont probablement sa meilleure période. J'aime beaucoup la structure symétrique de la page et la grande case centrale, pleine d'éléments de design typiques de l'artiste.
Chaykin lui-même a décrit Time² comme l'œuvre dont il est le plus fier.
