Read this panel from Amazing Spider-Man #162
a. onomatopoeia
b. visual imagery
c. graphic contrast
d. allusion
Scroll down for the answer.
______________________
a., b., and c. are incorrect. While all three of these literary devices are used in this panel, none of them drive the humor. Make sure the answer fits ALL of the question. A partially wrong answer is a completely wrong answer.
d. is correct since it is a take off on the old Superman cartoons where he would often say, this looks like a job for....(take of glasses, rip off shirt, and say in a deeper voice) SUPERMAN!
Bonus points to anyone who knows what the title is an allusion to.
