This page continues the gutter-less layout; all panels are laid over a dark blue background. At the top left, we get a close-up of Guy, who looks over his left shoulder in horrified shock. His face is covered in blue shadow so he blends somewhat with the background; his wide eyes and open mouth stand out against the shadow. Except for this panel, everyone on the page is rendered as black or dark blue silhouettes. At the top right, we see what Guy is looking at: the two men are busting through his door, guns in hand. Fully inside the room, the men hold their guns straight out. Guy and his companion flee to another door, ducking slightly as bullets are fired their way. One bullet hits Guy in his left shoulder: “BRATTTATTA” Now outside, Guy and his companion are sprinting down the road, black silhouettes against the pink sun. Guy is then isolated in a wash of pink, falling over as he takes another bullet to the back and one that hits near his foot. He yells out, “AHH!” Guy’s limp body is lying on the ground, limbs splayed out at disjointed angles. A pink, bloody bullet wound stands out against his black silhouetted body. He groans, “UHNNN…” Two long blue shadows stretch out over him as the two men look down at their work. The background of this section of the page is peach orange, rather than hot pink. Once again a gutter-less page, the background is peachy orange. An inset panel at the top of the page shows a close-up of Guy’s face looking over his shoulder from the ground. He looks nervous and grim. Below this panel, “BRATTTATTARATTTATTA” stretches across the width of the page diagonally in large white letters. In another inset panel below that, with a dark blue background, Guy’s dog, a black silhouette, walks off in the distance, leaving behind a trail of blood. At the bottom of the page, written in a thin white font different from the rest of the lettering, reads the text, “Guy Brodeur (1947-1991) was born in the Temiscamingue region of Quebec. He moved to Val-d’Or in the early 1970s and worked his way to the top of the local drug trader. This story is based on news archives, as well as interviews with former police officers and others who were familiar with the Val-d’Or underworld. One of his killers, Sylvain Boulanger, later became a police informant as part of the SharQc police operation. His testimony—for which he was paid nearly $3M—provided additional details contained in this book. Boulanger testified against Guy’s second killer, but due to procedural issues, he remains free to this day. This story was excerpted from the graphic novel ‘Val-d’Or Neon.’ @valdorneon.”
