In the original story that moment lasts for only a few minutes, but Topps Comics sought the permission of Mark Schultz to turn it into a “moment that stretches”. While Mark Schultz did not write or draw any of the comics released by Topps he was consulted on some of the story arcs to make sure they kept as true to his vision as possible.
