:Actually, the narrative of the story-so-far can be first-person ''and'' impersonal. If no specific information is provided, the reader assumes it's Avatar talking. The page/panel layout can then be minimalistic : white text over black background, period. | :Actually, the narrative of the story-so-far can be first-person ''and'' impersonal.
