Description

Common Elements commissions are like Forrest Gump's mom's box of chocolates: You never know what you're gonna get. Every now and then, an artist will push the concept's envelope and come up with something that I never would have anticipated, much less thought of myself.

Steve Carr (Savage Sword of Conan) does that here, with this cleverly designed, magnificently drawn tableux in which sometime-Avenger, sometime-Defender Moondragon gazes into a reflecting pool that reveals J'Onn J'Onzz, the Martian Manhunter. Or is it J'Onn gazing, and Moondragon the reflection? Every picture tells a story, but this one suggests an entire miniseries.

The spectacular inks were applied by Joe Rubinstein, who generously made the connection between Steve and me.

This is Common Elements #66.

This is an amazing piece- it almost has a Mignola-ish look to it. Really a fabulous piece- and your commission concepts (puns aside) are brilliant.
