How a character spotlight is structured in an NFT comic issue

A spotlight is not the cover. In the NFT comic files we index, the spotlight begins on the first interior panel where the credited character occupies the action, not merely a shoulder in a crowd.

We mark three beats when they exist: entrance, costume or power display, and exit or handoff to another figure. If a drop skips the exit and smash-cuts to a team splash, the card says the spotlight is truncated.

Balloon credits help when art is crowded. A tail that points at the figure, plus a caption box with the name, is stronger evidence than a colorist using a familiar hue. We write both observations.

Collectors who only screenshot covers miss silent pages. Count panels from the first interior screen if the viewer hides numbers. That count is what our Bangkok sheets use when two apps disagree on pagination.
