Justice League #21 - Shazam vs Black Adam Splash (Gary Frank)

Published interior splash page from Justice League #21 by Gary Frank (pencils & inks).

This page showcases the explosive, career-defining confrontation between Shazam and Black Adam, rendered with the cinematic power and anatomical precision that Gary Frank is known for.

Frank’s draftsmanship is on full display here—every muscle, lightning arc, and expression contributing to a sense of mythic force and inevitability. Few modern depictions of these two rivals capture their raw intensity as effectively as this image; the page reads like a poster-ready moment designed to define their rivalry for a new generation of readers.

This splash was acquired in 2021 directly from Sterlingclass and has remained one of the cornerstone pieces of my collection. Its combination of dynamic composition, storytelling clarity, and pure visual spectacle makes it a standout example of Gary Frank’s work during the New 52 era.
