Description

God, Don Newton was so fantastic. I can't say it enough, one of the best artists the industry as ever had. This splash is just incredible and reminiscent of Detective #31!

Coming from the man who has the Sub-Mariner #69 cover!  That is quite a compliment!

Don Newton was an incredible artist and this page just shows what a superstar he would have been, had he lived.  As a fellow Newton collector, I am soooo jealous but, happy that this ended up with someone who truly appreciates it.  Congrats on a grail qualtiy acquisition!

Great piece! It was in my collection for several years before making its way from me to Will. Such an incredible splash. I did at least hang onto the full interior color guide for this issue. Such a striking image.
