Altar in a Comic Time Machine

In a bold comic-book style, an ancient ritual altar sits at the center of a steampunk time machine cockpit. The carved stone altar glows with runes, candles flicker, and offerings rest on a stone plate. Surrounding it are brass gears, levered dials, and glowing gauges. A glass viewport shows a swirling time vortex outside, with streaks of light curling through the machine. The scene is drawn with thick black ink outlines, dramatic perspective (low angle), and Ben-Day dot shading. Color palette is saturated primaries (red, blue, yellow) with neon accents. Include explosive sound effects like ZAP and WHOOSH in bold stylized lettering. The composition blends myth and sci-fi in a cinematic panel layout, with motion lines and energy bursts around the altar.
