Description15" x 10" image area. Ink over graphite on Bristol board. Runaways #6 Vol. 3 Cover Original Art (Marvel 2009). Humberto Ramos.This incredibly captivating cover art features Runaways member Klara Prast, laying in a bed of roses that she manifested with her powers. They are surrounding, protecting and comforting her. Klara Prast (also known as Tower of Flower or Rose Red) is a fictional character, a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character appeared in the series Runaways. When the time-displaced Runaways landed in 1907, they meet twelve-year-old Klara, a girl of German descent who had to live to serve her abusive middle-aged husband. Klara's ability is to control or "talk to" (as she puts it) plants. Her name is a play on the word chloroplast, relating to her plant powers. When her family discovered her powers, they married her off to someone moving to America (even though she was still a child), where she ran into the Runaways in 1907, who later brought her back to the present with them. Klara is roughly Molly's age, has jet-black hair twisted in a braid, and gray eyes. Klara has the ability to control and manipulate the growth and movement of plants at will and with incredible ease, demonstrated frequently, known as Chlorokinesis. She likes to describe this ability as "talking to" the plants, something she says she did back on her family's farm in Bern. An example of her actually speaking to the plants comes when Klara manages to save a radio station manager from falling by calling out "grow!" prompting the mall plant life to burst out of their planters and save him, then "thank you, yes, lie down" when finished. She appears to be able to manipulate any kind of plant material, but has an affinity for roses since they "speak back" to her. Klara had once caused large, violent vines to burst out of the ground and shield her. Furthermore, the plants she manipulates also seem to react to Klara's emotions; such as when Molly leaves Klara saddened after confronting her on her attitude toward her friends, the roses on the vines begin to wilt. Completely unfamiliar with the modern world, Klara is timid and has no combat skills to speak of. When she is panicked or upset, her control over her abilities suffers greatly, and this can result in her plants attacking anyone that approaches her, including her own friends. Klara has mentioned that she is unable to swim. She is also fluent in English and German. In 2010, The Official Handbook To The Marvel Universe confirmed that she was indeed a genetic mutant.

Thanks everyone. I was very caught off-guard when I was drawn to it because it is unlike anything I typically like or collect as you can see from my other galleries. The mood and detail just blew me away, though, not to mention the uniqueness of the imagery compared to all other comic original art, even covers. So I had to have it! I appreciate the comments and mutual adoration of it!
