Two of my favorite writers in comics open write a very similar opening shot in their respective first issues in two wildly different ways to the above results.

What do you have to write to get the page out of your head?

Top, FROM HELL #1 - Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell, and the attendant script pages for Page One, Panel One (taken from FROM HELL: THE COMPLEAT SCRIPTS, 1994).

Bottom, PUNISHER WAR ZONE #1 - Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, and the attendant script for Page One, Panel One (excerpt from original document).
