Phil Hester, Superzero issue 1 cover C (pencil+signed+ink by Eric Gapstur)

Great cover. I love its (false) simplicity. It tells a story so much more than, let's say, the usual ominous Batman overlooking Gotham under heavy rain ,)

I totally agree. The composition really drew me to it. Being off-centered my eyes immediately wanted to understand what was happening. Talking to Phil about working on the project, he pulled the original pencils out from behind the inked page in his portfolio to explain his idea on adding the notebook paper.  When the piece came together for me and I saw the published book I was captivated with how much story was in the image.

When I saw the naked publication in the back of the TPB I thought it was funny that color ignored the ink and left the "x"s on her leg. Wild.
