Boom Boom by Simonson

Boom Boom by Walter Simonson in all her 80s glory.

I usually know exactly who I want when I'm getting sketches, and while I fully intended to ask for Boom Boom if I was lucky enough to get onto Walt's list. I fortunately showed up at the right time, and lucked into the sketch line. But standing in line for one of my favorite artists, who has done so much iconic work, it was tempting to go with another character. Especially talking to the people around me who had no clue who Boom Boom was or why anyone would want her instead of Walt's better known signature characters.

I am very happy with my choice. Not only is she my favorite character, but who knows if anyone else has a sketch of her from Walt?
