Description

Man, do I love this cover...I remember when I saw it on the stands...I hadn't been in a comics shop in years at the time, and when I saw this cover, my blood froze in my veins for a moment...I KNEW it was BWS immediately, just from the concept, notwithstanding my recognizing his hand... the scene is sublime, a 'super hero' sitting ,not punching, contemplating while levitating his cowl... so much more substanial than what is typically seen... BRILLIANT.

While looking through the gallery I read "Solar levitating COW cover" (must've been my sight gone hazy after viewing all this great art) and I just couldn't rememeber such a piece to save my life, so imagine my expression when I found myself in front of one of the most amazing covers ever. We share exactly the same reason for loving it.
