Check out this MAGNIFICENT use of silhouettes by one of the Masters, MILTON CANIFF. It's hard not to imagine how much he was (and still is!) influential to so many other masters of the craft (Bernet, Kubert, and Milazzo -like I was showing the other day- among others).

A comic panel from TERRY AND THE PIRATES where the main characters are held at gun point, their hands up, while a 1930s plane in the background is being loaded with supplies and arms. Everything is shown in silhouette against what could be a sunset sky.

Not one wasted brush stroke in sight. Not a single one.
