DC Super Stars 16 page 24 (feat. Star Hunters) by Don Newton & Bob Layton

Love Newton.  Congrats on this historic page

Baller.

Beautiful artwork by Newton and Layton.  Your future riches will be great indeed!

As a lifelong fan of Newton, i always love to see art of his I havem't seen before.  Superb storytelling and wonderful figure drawing are just some of the things that make Don Newton one of my favorite artists.  The way his figures occupy the space on this page is like a well choreographed ballet.  And, this being early on in his DC career, he was just coming into his own with he best yet to come.  If it weren't for his umtimely death in 1984, I have no doubt he would have been a super star like Byrne or Perez.

Outstanding, dynamic page!

Very nice storytelling, which was a strong point of Newton's work. His figures are also nice and I find it especially interesting that the man with his back to us in the 1st panel (who I'm sure will be in a movie soon) appears to simultaneously be fighting and doing a ballet move. The woman, whose name escapes me but whom I'm sure will also be in a movie soon andallow you to sell this page for $35k+ very soon, also looks great in that second to last panel as she swings in ala Black Widow. Layton's inks look far more like Dan Adkins' inks than his own, which is a good thing in this case because they are, as you mention, more complimentary to Newton's pencils than they otherwise would be if he inked it in the style most of us are far more familiar with.

What a beautiful page, F M.  I love the vertical layout of the top half (especially with the "t"-shaped first panel making room for our soon-to-be-silver-screen protagonist's right arm) and how it shifts into horizontal panels for the bottom half of the page.  Very cool.  Beautiful work by Newton all over the place here, but I think my very favorite thing may be the caption-sized "Emergency Sealer" banner next to the switch in panel 6.  With the foot, then the real captions all floated over it, it gives a real mind-bending sense of depth and dimension to it.  Love it!  Great page!

Innovative layout to fit just the right amount action and drama onto the page!  DC was certainly going to beat Marvel to the punch this time for sure in 1977 with Star Hunters over their little "Star Wars" comics.  Newton and Layton was definitely a more slick art team in showing action.  Sure they got their movie tie in, but everyone is saying that it'll flop and it'll go away soon.  Star Hunters is the safer bet when all is said and done.     

Nice!!!

No schleps on this page. Well perhaps the tailor but he is back at port. Backstitch man, backstitch.

Any page with Yiddish deserves a comment - especially for such a mensch as you!
