JLA Justice League Batman Superman Wonder Woman Flash Green Lantern Aquaman double page spread DPS splash montage commission by Darryl Banks and Rod Reis

The mid to late 90s Grant Morrison era of JLA is one of my favorite runs in comics history. My brother and I both got into JLA, and the world of DC (beyond Batman), because of Grant's work on this series with artist Howard Porter. I'd met artist Darryl Banks at a few regional cons over the past couple years and gained an appreciation for his style. I liked the way he drew comics like I remember them looking as I was growing up! When I contacted Darryl I knew I wanted a massive JLA double page spread and he seemed excited by my ideas and the scope of the project. After emailing back and forth with Darryl I knew I had found the right artist to make my ultimate JLA dream project a reality. I shared my affinity for John Byrne's awesome montage commissions with Darryl and he started his work from there. At times during the process I felt like I might be overburdening Darryl with my multiple intricate requests, but he worked with me and came up with this stunning piece of artwork. It features all the main 7 JLA members from Morrison's run as well as the reserve members and a series of montages that covers every storyline from Morrison's run. Rod Reis knocked it out of the park on the color version, as well. I am super pleased to have this piece!
