The Explorer on Castle Battlements: Comic Book Style

Illustrate a fearless explorer in vibrant comic book style, standing on the wind-swept battlements of a medieval castle. Bold, black ink lines with high-contrast shading and halftone textures give a retro superhero feel. The explorer wears a weathered leather trench coat, a wide-brimmed hat with a feather, sturdy boots, a belt full of pouches, a rolled map, and a coiled rope; a brass telescope is raised to their eye as they scan the horizon, while a grappling hook hangs at their belt. One foot rests on a crenel, their torso twists in a dynamic pose, with the arm extended to point toward distant towers. Behind them, jagged battlements, ivy creeping along the stone, and a stormy sky with flickering lightning. Color palette is bold and saturated with cel-shading, emphasizing primary colors for a classic 1960s adventure comics vibe. Camera angle slightly from below for heroic scale and exaggerated perspective.
