Description

The first appearance of the Legion of Super Heroes

Re-imagined from the iconic splash page in Adventure Comics #247, April 1958. Created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino.

Began as a commission proposal for Alex Johnson, which eventually became another image altogether: http://bit.ly/Zhq3Qv

11.5" X 16.5", tonal pencil drawing on 240 gr bristol.

Recent re-interpretation of simpler and more innocent days.

So very nice. A nostalgic Raboy style that is easy on the eyes. Very well done.

Really good . . . and your intro, in part, sounds like a Mary Hopkins song (written by Paul McCartney)!

Very nice homage. I love that it works on a different level as well. This piece perfecly demonstrates how far the field of comic art has evolved and advanced. Stronger page layouts and composition, accurate, more dynamic anatomy, realistic light and shade, etc. Simply better art all the way around. Excellent job.

Thanks Alex and everyone. Joe's exquisite line may not be on this version but he certainly deserves the credit for making it happen.
