Superstar: As Seen on TV, page 36

Superstar: As Seen on TV was a one-shot story that Kurt Busier and Stuart Immonen did at Image in 2001.

The story has an intriguing premise. Superstar is a hero for the media age: the more popular he is, the more powerful he is. With the public behind him, he can work miracles-- without them, he's nothing.

Superstar's made a deal with his father, an international media tycoon, to promote him and keep him powerful enough to save the world. But now he walks a fine line between staying famous enough to do the most good, and becoming just another "property" in his father's portfolio.

I love Stuart Immonen's art and think, after Stuart himself, that Wade Von Grawbadger is his best inker. I picked this story up when it originally came out and got my copy signed by Stuart at a comic con in Boston not too long after it was published.

I have long admired Stuart and Wade's work on this page and was thrilled when it popped up for sale this Christmas at Essential Sequential, Wade's art rep.
