Reign of the Supermen - Return of Superman Poster Commission

Love the idea!  Really pops!

Thanks! Really happy with how these look and pair up!

I certainly understand the desire to commission a piece that encompasses the whole saga, but the reality is that even asking for the commission to be done on the larger boards Tom has available, there are just too many characters and scenes to be able to fit everything in without the composition ultimately suffering from being cramped in together. This is already busy enough without feeling cramped. But if you had insisted on squeezing in even one more character, it would've ruined it. Having two great, representative pieces is far better!

Exactly my thoughts too. Tom's list was closed for an extended period of time as I was continually cooking up ideas/layout ideas for an all encompassing piece and ultimately I landed on that same thought, just split it into two pieces. I commissioned this one first and figured I'd then just go back and have Tom do a Death one. I wasn't buying art when all the stuff from this era was "affordable" so when it came to these commissons I wanted to have Tom create something that felt like it could've existed back in the 90's, a time of gatefold posters included with comics and a booming comic shop scene (with posters abound!).

The triangle era comes alive!  The figures all pop off with shiny lustre and embossed feel of a special event!

The headshots really help sell the emotions & scope of the story for sure, Lois & Jimmy in awe of these new Supermen & Lex annoyed that his city is populated by even more "heroes."

This is fantastic! Congradulations Carl!

Appreciate the kind words! These really do bring me so much nostalgic joy!

Wow, that black suit really pops with the bold inking. Classic imagery on a great commission idea - congrats!
