Description

UPDATED: Now with digitally coloured version added.

As the blurb would probably have read ...

"Earth's First Spaceman --- held hostage by alien scientists! With guest appearances by more than a dozen of DC's spectacular science fiction superstars!"

(also including a science fiction stowaway from another dimension, but shhh)

Michael T Gilbert's been an absolute joy to work with on this - the basic concept was mine, and I knew I wanted a few of the Silver Age SF heroes in the background (Captain Comet, Space Ranger and Cryll, Martian Manhunter, maybe Star Hawkins, Ilda and Space Cabby) - but Michael was able to work so many extras in, bouncing ideas back and forth at every stage, that it's been an absolute pleasure. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a commission. Already thinking about the next one he can do for me...

(Hat-tip to John Watson for pointing me in the direction of the Aquaman cover this homages - I'd only ever seen his LSH adaptation of it, and he was nice enough to identify the original.)

John did the LSH version for me. He has an almost encyclopedic memory of obscure odd and out of this world covers. Love this "homage"
