Sphinx Librarian in a Comic Library

A bold, high-contrast comic book style illustration of a regal sphinx with humanoid torso and lion head, perched among towering library shelves filled with ancient tomes. Thick black ink outlines, dynamic cross-hatching, and halftone shading for a retro superhero vibe. The warm-lit library features wooden ladders, dust motes, and stacks of scrolls. The sphinx wears an ornate collar and holds an ancient scroll, while a glowing book levitates in front of it. A speech bubble says Knowledge is power! in bold, punchy typography. The perspective is a low-angle dynamic shot to emphasize grandeur, with deep gold, blue, and cream colors contrasted by black ink. Myth meets pulp fantasy in a magical library scene.
