History of the DC Universe Hardcover Collection Gatefold Poster Jam Illustration (DC/Graphitti Designs, 1988)

A true bit of Comic Industry History for a number of reasons! This collection of 53 characters by 54 different artists is likely the only time you are going to see some of these great talents working on the same Jam piece! Joe Kubert and Jaime Hernandez on the same piece? Dave Gibbons and Jack Kirby? The list of talent on this piece reads like a list of Comic Book Royalty, and many are doing characters they were closely associated with! There are simply too many to list here (see our online listing for a rundown of every artist and character) but it ranges from Golden Age greats Jack Kirby, Bob Kane, Joe Kubert, and Joe Orlando; to Silver Age Saints Murphy Anderson, Ramona Fradon, Gil Kane, Jim Steranko, and Gene Colan; to Bronze Age brilliants Michael Kaluta, P. Craig Russell, Jim Starlin, Jim Aparo, and Frank Thorne; to Eighties experts Bill Sienkiewicz, Matt Wagner, Howard Chaykin, and Dave Gibbons! It's a Who's Who of comic book talent up to the year 1987. And that's just one reason why this is so significant.
