Description

This page, picked up for a modest price on eBay, brings together two of the many things I've come to appreciate in the comics medium over the years: the art of Bernard Chang and the Lantern Corps of Many Colors. Geoff Johns' introduction of Lanterns of every color of the spectrum was an idea borne of a Silver Age simplicity that proved to be fun and profitable for DC Comics, and creators have mined that rich vein rather successfully. (One could argue the mine has since been depleted, but that's not a point to explore at the moment.) This page focuses on Indigo-1, the leader the compassionate Indigo Tribe, and a New 52 incarnation of Highfather of the New Gods, in a moment from the recent "Godhead" New Gods/Green Lantern event from the various GL titles.

Most striking on this page is Chang's depiction of Highfather. I love the edge and experience he instills in the character's face. Furthermore, one can see a strong Steve (Preacher) Dillon influence at work in Chang's work here. Another element I love about this board is that, like the other Chang page I own, it has the layouts in rough pencils on the reverse (see additional image), suggesting Chang used a lightbox when crafting the final images to be published. The page is also signed, which pleases me.

One thing this page also spotlights is how comic art has changed in the digital age, and it does so with what's missing from the board. Given the appearance of the finished product (secondary image located below), it's clear the backgrounds were all done digitally. My preference would be for it to be drawn traditionally, but I could imagine the digital method serves the nature of the sci-fi setting well and probably saves time in production. Missing out on hand-lettering is an unfortunate side effect of comics creation in modern times, so it's a little disappointing (though not surprising) to see another element, another step in the process, missing from the original art as well. Still, I'm happy with the addition to my art collection.
