Comic-Book Merchant at a Busy Train Station

A busy train station rendered in classic comic-book style. A savvy street merchant runs a colorful stall beneath harsh fluorescent lights, stacks of trinkets, snacks, and posters on display. Bold black ink lines, exaggerated perspective, and Ben-Day dot shading give a retro superhero vibe. The merchant wears a striped waistcoat and a bowler hat, offers wares with a confident grin as hurried commuters stream past. In the background, trains pull into the platform with steam and speed lines, a blinking departure board, and speech balloons above the vendor: “Step right up!” and “Deals today!” Use saturated primary colors—reds, blues, yellows—with strong contrasts and heavy shadows. Halftone texture across the scene, dynamic angles from the platform edge, and splash-page energy to convey hustle and movement.
