Description

It seems a fitting time given the celebratory nature of the 30th Anniversary of The Death of Superman to share this pair of commissions that I had done awhile back. When I got into collecting commissions I knew one thing, I wanted a big commission celebrating the whole saga from Death to Reign to Return. Over time the idea morphed into two separate pieces. My idea was to have Tom Grummett create pieces that felt they could’ve been hanging on the wall of a 90’s comic shop, a poster advertising the story or just as a poster you could hang on your wall. I knew I wanted the central characters all represented on the piece but also wanted to add some other emotions to it by adding headshots of supporting characters. After all, part of the appeal and success of these stories had to do with the excellent supporting cast so it felt natural to include them. Absolutely love what they add to this already impressive piece!

For me, no one draws the half containment suit look better than Tom Grummett, so when it came time to commissioning a piece that focused on Death, I specifically asked for that look. It focused more on the earlier stages of the fight so the headshots are reflective of they and complimentary to my Reign/Return counterpart.

Great memories, Carl. I love that Tom balanced out the composition by placing a single floating head in each corner and I'm glad Guardian was included because I felt he was such a fun supporting character.

Same here, really dig the balance of it. Also each of the characters belong there in their own right, Booster first named Doomsday, Maxima went toe to toe with him, Tom's history drawing Guardian & his place in the story made him a shoe in and Ice really provides the sense of fear & tension. This was the second piece to be completed, so I couldn't have picked a better 4 here (especially given my specific request for half containment suit look), they all serve the piece quite well.
