"John Vallely's score is a perfect fit for the narrative. His tracks have a whimsical quality to them, but still feel ominous, like we're waiting for the other shoe to drop." The Comic Book Yeti
"Well implemented piano in the scariest way possible. Often alleviating the reading experience and making the comic book feel like a movie." Everlasting Hauntings
"The beautiful music intensifies the suspense and adds a film dynamic to the reading experience." A Place to Hang Your Cape
Could Comic Scores become a thing?
Comic scores are still relatively unexplored. Although similar in some aspects to film scores, there are some fundamental differences. One important difference is that there are not necessarily any diegetic sounds (sounds that occur within the context of the film and can be heard by the characters: dialogue, the wind, a busy street, etc.) This means that a comic score has no sound competition, something that can be quite liberating for a composer. It opens new creative possibilities and kind of echoes the silent film era of the late nineteenth, early twentieth century.
And two, the images are still. This can demand more imagination from the viewer than motion picture in that you must fill in the spaces between panels yourself. The music however can set a pace to the comic. This also arguably offers the music a more prominent position in the audiences reception of the media.
With the growing demand for digital comics, there is definitely space for more creative forms of delivery in the digital medium.
