Desert Frontiers: Comic Book Explorer in the Dunes

An intrepid explorer in a bold retro comic-book style, standing atop a wind-swept sand dune. Thick black ink outlines, vibrant primary colors, and halftone shading. The explorer wears a wide-brimmed hat, scarf, utility vest, cargo pants, boots, and a satchel, gripping a rolled map and a compass. Dramatic low-angle perspective with action lines, wind-swept sand swirling around, and distant dunes stretching to the horizon. A blazing sun on the horizon casts orange, gold, and pink hues, with heat shimmer over the dunes. Foreground dust motes and oversized grains give a kinetic feel. Optional speech bubble in classic comic font. Overall mood: adventurous, cinematic, and stylized in a classic comic-book aesthetic.
