Description
The first Cry for Dawn book had been out for only a few months when Joe created this piece. It has Dawn's original 80's rocker look with the wild hair. It's also just a little more risqué than the usual Dawn art. When I shared the image with Joe he couldn't believe it's been 36 years.

Big thanks to Jason D'Ambrosio who tirelessly searched through hundreds of NSFW dealer folders at the New Jersey art con. Flipping page after page of pure debauchery to find this piece for me! What CAF doesn't know is that Jason is the biggest black hole collector of the real underground, crazy stuff.

Or he randomly came across it there and knows what I like!

A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a little boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended or sifting through endless amounts of porn.

Because he's the hero CAF deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. 
 

He's the Goddamm J-Man. Tell all your friends about him.

I saw it happen! Jason would not give up his search until he dug this out of the bin.

He's a machine!  And excited to see Joe's sale show on the  Comicart Live this Saturday at 2pm EST (I received no compensation for this commercial)!

Linsner's art was already quite distinctive early on.
