Description

All my SSB scans have been upgraded - enjoy!

This piece is almost a redux of the cover. How did Tradd not kill himself doing this. How do you get 17 pages into insanity, and decide to keep dialing up the insanity?

I don't think there will ever be another work quite like this.

Would love to see this with color as a Blacklight poster - old shcool Marvel style! Such a great piece of art!

I've often wondered the same thing looking at this Tradd stuff, "why?" Like what possesses you to keep pushing it and adding line after line, shape after shape? Thanks for bumping up these scans, ML.

Truly epic! I'll second the need for a SSB blacklight poster!

Seeing Tradd's originals in black and white makes me appreciate the details that I miss in the published books.

Maybe someday I will be able to add a piece to my collection. Thanks for sharing.

OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

You'll be on y our way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights.

You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

Flowing, flawless, and completely original.  I don't know how Moore came up with this, but once I see it, I don't think he could have done anything differently in the image without it sticking out as wrong.  Thanks for the big scan!

I'm pretty sure I just got carpal tunnel syndrome from looking at his page. Thanks a lot, ML! Tradd was in that sweaty and excited Creative Zone for this whole run, imo. That moment when your creative brain takes over, and your eyes unfocus a little, and you flush with the creative rush flowing out. I don't think we're going to see something like this again, either. Stunning work. Huge jealous congrats! ;)

Insanity is the right word. Absolutely bonkers. I could stare at this for hours. Doesn't even matter that SS is in the picture - its about so much more than that. Truly awe inspiring. Thanks ML!

What is it about comic book creators named Moore that allows them to transcend the medium?  Stellar piece!

What's better than a splash imitating the best cover from the series?

This is it, right here, all in one place: the microverse, the macroverse, the universe...  So many '-verses', you'd expect it to be poetry of some kind.  Oh, wait...

Congrats on yet another (inter)stellar Tradd add, M L.  All of this work is just so unbelievable...  Thank you for sharing these great scans with us so we can revel in the details!

Insanity's a great word. Pure insanity. And you're all the better for it, man...on your way down a path of insanity yourself, just looking at this all the time. That OK? I think so! What's the alternative? Not looking?! SURE. Congrats!
