one of the earliest known examples of pop art, roy lichtenstein's "whaam!" adapted a panel from a story titled "star jockey", from "all-american men of war" #89 (january–february 1962), drawn by irv novick. the painting depicts a fighter aircraft, the north american p-51 mustang, firing a rocket into an enemy plane, with a red-and-yellow explosion (in the source comic the aircraft is a north american f-86 sabre). the cartoon style is heightened by the use of the onomatopoeic lettering ""whaam!"" and the yellow-boxed caption with black lettering. lichtenstein used other artwork from this series for other works, including "brattata" and "bratatat!".
