Great Splash Page. Huge congrats.
Oh my gosh, I just posted this piece in the Original Art group on Facebook for the benefit of Swamp Thing fans who don't hang out on CAF, to see. But I did so BEFORE reading the description and realizing most of it, although well meaning and I appreciate it greatly, looks like a paid promotional ad for Mike and myself! Ah well, you are too kind, my friend!
Now to get to what's important here, this page of art. It truly is a magnificent work of art, isn't it? Set aside that Ram V is honoring Alan Moore by turning the tail end of his run on the title into an homage of sorts to the stories at the tail end of his own run, this version of The Swamp Thing is so crazy and imaginative that it has me staring at it in awe every time I see it. While I felt bad for the 3 other people who attempted to buy this as soon as it hit my site, I'm still happy to know you ended up being the first one to get your order in, if only by a few seconds, literally, ahead of the 2nd collector! A fabulous splash from a fabulously written and drawn series. I can't wait to see what happens in the final 2 issues! Congratulations on owning this one!
Many thanks, Rubén. It is a fabulous splash indeed! I was performing more of a community service even though, as I mentioned, it is against my own interest. Lots of collectors are paying lots more for artwork nowadays, some of which (even allowing for the inevitable difference in tastes) may not even be as good as, say, Mike's work. As you know, I purchase artwork from all sources - and yours has been as good as any on offer.
That's a great splash that combines two of the greatest powers of the DC Universe.
Terrific example from this series! I'm loving this book
Mike's art on this series has been crazy! One of those runs that define a career. Congrats!
Many thanks, James. And many thanks to everyone who has taken the trouble to comment on this piece. For the more vintage Swamp Thing piece, you can see it at:
