Description

Commissioned from Ian Richardson in 2010. Thanks to Ian for a great work of art, thanks to Damon Owens for the introduction to Ian and the inspiration for this piece, and Rich Buckler for the cover of All-Star Squadron no. 1. Thanks also to Christopher Ivy, who inked and colored this piece in 2011. The membership candidates are as follows: from left to right on the wall are Tawky Tawny (ally of the Marvel Family), Streak the Wonder Dog (Green Lantern Alan Scott's pet), Destructo ( the superpowered dog pet of the teenage Lex Luthor-hey all teams need a reformed villian), and Enemy Ace's wolf. On the table, from left to right, top "row": Bonzo (think of him as Shazam monkey), Ch'p (Green Lantern chipmunk or squirrel), and on the right, over Krypo's paws, Mogo the Bat-Ape. Second row, starting below Streaky, Ace the Bathound, , Rovo the Mighty Dog (pet of Mighty Boy and one time guest star of Superboy in the 60s) , and Dex-Star (Red Lantern Rage Cat). Third row, Dr. Mid-Nite's owl , one of Lobo's space dolphins. Fourth row, Detective Chimp, Itty (Green Lantern Hal Jordan pet in the 70s), Hoppy the Marvel Bunny, Lucifer (El Diablo's horse), and Matthew Cable (Sandman's Raven and Swamp Thing's friend). Bottom row, Rex the Wonder Dog (the world's greatest photographer-eat your heart out Peter Parker) and Teekl (cat of Klarion the witch boy). In Beppo's hand: Proty, the first and only new member of the Legion of Super-Pets
