Hunger Dogs - Orion A

This is posted in honor of Jack's 101st. birthday! In a beauty and the beast type moment, Bekka accepts Orion for what he is after mother box reveals his true mangled appearance.

Hunger Dogs was a hodgepodge of unused Kirby/Royer New Gods #12 art with added pgs. pencilled by Kirby and inked by D. Bruce Berry. Final re-inking + rework was done by artist Greg Theakston. Changes sometimes involved re-inked paste-overs added to the heads of some figures.

Due to the size of the image. this entire page was statted and re-inked by Theakston. No paste-overs were used. As a result, there are two separate and distinct versions of this page. Version "A" is the original untouched Berry inked p.51 and "B" is the reworked copy by Theakston. It's the latter that appeared in the published graphic novel.

Note the differences between the two versions in Orion's hair, eyes, chin, and fingers, as well as Bekka's hair, head dress, and expression. I own both of these but prefer Berry's finishes over Theakston's thicker line work.
