Nebula in a Brass Laboratory (Comic Splash)

A dynamic comic book style illustration of a glowing nebula hovering above a brass laboratory. The lab is a meticulous steampunk workspace with polished brass benches, gears, pressure gauges, glass retorts, steam vents and copper pipes. Bold black ink outlines, high-contrast lighting, and subtle halftone dot shading emulate classic superhero panels. The nebula radiates electric blues, purples, magentas, and golds, reflected on brass surfaces and glassware. Dramatic directional lighting from overhead Edison bulbs and from the nebula itself creates bright highlights and deep shadows. Composition uses a cinematic three-quarter view: foreground features brass lab equipment, middle ground shows a scientist in a white coat with brass goggles adjusting a console, background reveals more pipes and a large window showing a starry cosmos. Include comic-style sound effects like KRAK and WHOOSH in bold lettering and optional speech bubbles. Rich texture with metallic reflections, glass, and grainy halftone for retro feel. Style: retro-futuristic steampunk, dynamic action panel layout.
