The Mine's Shadow: Assassin in Halftone

A stealthy assassin glides through a dimly lit mining tunnel, rendered in bold comic-book style with thick ink outlines, high-contrast halftone shading, and dramatic perspective. The mine is damp and rocky, with wooden supports, rails for mining carts, and scattered picks. Dust motes float in the shaft-lit air as torches and emergency lanterns cast orange and cobalt neon reflections on wet walls. The assassin wears a dark trench coat and a masked helmet, silhouette gleaming under harsh light; dynamic action pose with a weapon kept low, ready to strike. Motion lines and panel-style composition evoke a splash page: tense, cinematic, noir vibe with gritty texture and explosive shadows.
