Love that bonkers background!

Great art and let's be frank, particularly slick inks. Bair has always been an excellent inker/artist but I agree he did wonder on those. they wouldn't look as great without him. Grummett's not too bad an artist either ;)

Man, Inwish I could get my hair to curl just right like that. Heck, I wish I still had hair there. Great cover.

Totally agree about the slick inks.  I mean, look at that hair!

How can all the colors ruin the art again?
Grummett draws the cover where the fighting never ends
Kirby Krackled art by brush ink that Bair makes ascend
How can they draw powers if lines can't be, can't be red?

Look at this now, Bair inked this baby
Tom's pencilin' the art layout, Grummett draws it tight
Josiah's cool, Company crazy
Whoa, Whoa, Superman's a Power Station
Whoa, whoa, skull's a win win situation

As nicely done as the figure work is, I'm blown away by the halo effect background most. Wow!

That depiction of Superman is so cool!  Congrats!!!

I love Grummett's artistic style, and the pencils must have looked amazing, but man, the inking really does it for me on this one.  That great background behind Superman's head and the awesome Kirby Krackle on that one character.  I'm also a big fan of having a big figure with smaller figures superimposed on it.  Winner winner, chicken dinner !!!

Really nice looking piece. His facial reaction is great. Really nice looking cover.

Wow! This is a really striking cover! And you are correct, it looks great next to the Superboy one. Congrats!

That halo effect is positively hypnotic.  I thoroughly enjoyed the Power Company one-shots but thought that Busiek's writing never really clicked on the regular series.  The artwork, however, was top-notch.

STUNNING cover, Rubén!  What an incredible background, and in addition to the superior B&W image (vs. colored version), another very cool effect of the OA is the three-dimensionality of Superman here, with the full-bleed image on the bottom half of the page (in contrast to the "cropped" published cover).  Beautiful figure work, too, that -almost- manages to stand up to challenge of not being upstaged by the blisteringly awesome Krackle exploding off of this thing!  What a score!  Congrats, Rubén!

What a wonderful cover.  Many congratulations!  The inks are so wonderfully intricate.

Phenomenal cover! Love that Kirby Krackle effect on the foreground figures! And the echoing crackle in the background is very effective! Fabulous!

Wow, those are some deft inks!  Check out Supes's hair, that background, that Krackle...lotsa different techniques and textures to pore over on this one, which I'm sure you have.  Suh-weet composition, too.  Super (too easy) image all around!  Congrats!
