Impulse, Flash, Max Mercury & daughter

Figured I'd share a fun story with you all. Behold my own Humberto Ramos cover, circa 1995, back in the days of having comic conventions. I hung around the DC booth because that was the place to be; best creators in the game! I see Ramos just standing there talking to Brian Augustyn, and I introduce myself to them. I was enjoying Flash and loved Humberto's pencils on Hardware and his filler issues of Superboy. Impulse was just starting (issue 4 came out in July). I believe this was Humberto's first SDCC and I asked him if he was sketching. He kindly obliged on my blank Gen 13 cover and started to rough out the gang from the Gen13. I told him, I'd love Impulse on the cover; he smiles, erases a few lines and pencils out what you see below. "Sit next to me, we'll be here for a while". I'm sitting next him at the DC tables and Rich Faber, inker of Steel was next to me and said "Hey' you want that inked?" Sure! Rich was local and I knew him from the comic shop. A little delay due to deadlines. I get this.... Flash forward 23 years later, in 2018 I see Humberto at a show in LA and told me about the cover; he doesn't remember but said bring it to CNTX; I show it to him there and he's smiling. Signed it with his current signature; and we recreated the photo we took 23 years ago.
