This is the end splash for the first of three issues of Birds of Prey where Amanda and Jimmy filled in as guest artists. I've been wanting to get a page by Amanda and Jimmy, and my first choice was to try and get a page from Birds of Prey but none of the art had ever popped up in public before from what I could tell, so I'd given up on that and primarily hunted for a really nice Power Girl to represent Amanda & Jimmy in my collection. While there were attempts, that hunt didn't bear any fruit either, but fate so had it that some of their Birds of Prey art surfaced and I was offered this gorgeous splash featuring Black Canary, and I just couldn't pass it up. Dreams do come true!

Amanda and Jimmy like to draw their pages on their own custom 10x15 boards, the design of which has changed over the years. You can see their custom layout of their boards at the time here where they wrote the issue information but it seems they didn't cut it out so it's still all on a regular 11x17 board which is really neat! It's on a Marvel board too funnily enough. All the word balloons are also hand drawn and lettered it seems, so that's a really nice bonus! Also the fire hydrant is a drawn paste up. This page has it all!
