splash
The sound or visual effect created when something hits a liquid; a splash or splatter. Often used in comics or to describe visual effects.
Mit einem lauten Splash fiel der Stein ins Wasser.
With a loud splash, the stone fell into the water.
'Splash' is a loanword from English and is pronounced the same way. It is mainly used in colloquial language, youth slang, or in specific contexts such as comics.
Als die Welle gegen die Felsen schlug, gab es einen riesigen Splash.
When the wave hit the rocks, there was a huge splash.
The meaning can be easily inferred from the context. If it is about water or a liquid, the sound, 'Platschen' (splashing), is meant. In a conversation about comics or graphic design, it refers to the full-page drawing.
Das Kind sprang mit einem lauten Splash in die Pfütze.
The child jumped into the puddle with a loud splash.
In comic jargon, the word is almost always used in the fixed expression 'die Splash-Page' (the splash page) to refer to a full-page illustration.
Der Held wird auf einer beeindruckenden Splash-Page vorgestellt.
The hero is introduced on an impressive splash page.
panel
'Panel' and 'Splash' can both appear in comics, but there they do not mean the same thing. A 'Panel' is a single image or frame in a comic, so it is part of the normal sequence of images. A 'Splash' can be either a splashing sound or a visible splash, often as an effect in the image. In comics terminology, 'Splash' can also mean a particularly large, usually full-page drawing. Learners may confuse the words because both describe something visual in a comic. For a normal comic frame, you say 'Panel'; for an effect like a splash, or for a large dramatic page, 'Splash' fits.
Der Zeichner hat den Splash über die ganze Seite gesetzt, damit die Szene stärker wirkt.
The artist placed the splash across the whole page so that the scene would have a stronger effect.
Im letzten Panel sieht man, wie die Figur leise aus dem Zimmer geht.
In the last panel, you can see the character quietly leaving the room.
