Rocket Rising Over Ancient Rome: Comic Book Epic

Comic book style illustration of a futuristic rocket launching over ancient Rome at sunset. A glossy chrome rocket with fins blasts upward, leaving a luminous exhaust trail; bold action lines, thick inking, and halftone dots. In the foreground, a Roman centurion in ornate armor and a toga-wrapped scholar point toward the sky, while marble columns, the Colosseum, and a bustling forum provide the epic background. The sky swirls with purple and amber clouds; dramatic speech bubbles and onomatopoeia WHOOSH and BOOM punctuate the moment. Rich color palette of vivid reds, royal blues, golds, and bronze, contrasted with weathered stone greys. Composition uses dynamic diagonal perspective and strong shadows reminiscent of mid-20th-century superhero comics.
