Glyphs in the Fog: Artifact of Victorian London

Comic-book style splash-page set in foggy Victorian London. A detective in a waistcoat and top hat stands on a gas-lit cobblestone street, clutching a glowing ancient artifact etched with enigmatic glyphs. Bold black ink outlines with halftone Ben-Day dot shading give the scene a retro superhero vibe. Surrounding details include steam-powered carriages, Gothic brick buildings, and drifting fog under amber lamps. The artifact radiates brass and emerald light, hinting at a hidden doorway or secret chamber revealed in a panel-to-panel sequence. Three-panel composition: Panel 1 - the street and discovery; Panel 2 - close-up of the glyphs glowing; Panel 3 - a doorway opening to an illuminated archive beyond. Rich color palette of brass, emerald, sepia, indigo, and warm golds.
