Description

I have always loved the goofiness of some of the Silver-Age DC stuff. The Inferior Five is one such concept that sadly seems to be fading from comics fan's common knowledge. I have been wanting to get an I5 commission for some time. While trying to come up with a concept for it, I was browsing the GCD and thought of an homage to the first appearance of the Justice League in Brave and the Bold 28. Starro seemed to be a perfect match for the silliness of the I5, what could be more ridiculous than a giant starfish villain? And yet somehow it works!

A friend recently introduced me to Dana's work (thanks, Ari!). When I contacted Dana he did prove to be eager to do it, and in fact did a fantastic job! He managed to inbue all the characters with personality, and even make Starro somewhat menacing! And his color work is superb!

That is really great! I, too, am an Inferior Five fan and was glad to see they haven't been completely forgotten when they showed up in the Bat-Mite miniseries recently.
