Description

"He was the GREATEST Hero of them all."

A moment of silence, please... This beautiful double-page splash is from LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES (3rd series) #38 (Sept. 1987), pages 26 and 27 featuring the saddest day in Legion history--the Funeral of Superboy. In this unforgettable issue, Superboy was killed by the Time Trapper. This page was drawn on "twice-up" bristol board by Greg LaRocque (pencils), Mike DeCarlo (inks) and Arne Starr (inking assistance). This page is HUGE and measures a whopping 20" X 24 1/2". Needless to say, this is my "Grail" splash page.

SUPERBOY created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster - 1st appearance - Action Comics #1 (June 1938) and/or More Fun Comics #101 (Jan. - Feb. 1945).

I was very lucky to have drawn the Legion & it remains my favorite book that I have worked on. I found this story & scene difficult to create but am very proud of how it turned out. Thanks for sharing Fred ;-) Posted on 11/1/2010
