comic panel
Strip's single box
A comic panel is a single framed image within a comic strip, comic book, or graphic novel, typically bounded by borders that separate it from adjacent panels.
Panels are the basic building blocks of sequential art, with their size, shape, and arrangement controlling pacing and visual rhythm.
A splash panel takes up an entire page for dramatic effect, while smaller panels can convey rapid action or dialogue.
The artist used a nine-panel grid for the fight sequence.
