This seems to have been inspired by a previous pinup he did in DC's 'Heroes Against Hunger' book from way back in the day that I really dug, just the poses slightly altered. Anyone have that one? Lovely stuff.

OK, granted I am 5 years late replying to this...but I have the original Heroes Against Hunger pinup he did, back cover, I think it was. It is AWeSOmE as all of his stuff is. I have a fair amount of his originals, from the unexpected to the more normal. Just love em all! And this painting is definitely oustanding. :)

This commission was indeed based on the Heroes Against Hunger backcover. Always loved how Bill contrasted Superman and Batman on that image. It'd been a few years since the last sighting original- which, if memory serves, was done on kraftint, and Bill was up for giving it a go in color.

And he succeeded as usual! :) If I ever get around to posting pics, you'll get to see it again. It's been framed and hanging for...I dunno...15 years or so? I've had it for a long time, one of my jewels. Great job getting this color piece, you have to be proud!

15 years sounds about right- I commissioned the painting right after SDCC 2001. I recall it was around the time Bill starting doing shows and taking commissions again after a few years hiatus. At that point I'm pretty sure the last time I saw the original was at least a couple of years- maybe at Mitch's booth? I want to say it was on someone's wall at SDCC. Ah, my brain is stuffed with too comic art minutia.

Amen to that, me too. Yeah, I got a bunch of stuff from Mitch back then. Then I didn't buy again until just this past year. The true crown jewel of my collection is my Sienkiewicz Unforgiven painting. I'll never part with it.

Wow, you have the Unforgiven painting. You gotta post that! Mine is probably the Amazing Heroes #99 cover, but Bill is so versatile! I appreciate different pieces for different reasons- as you do I'm sure.

Awesome! I would love one of his Elektra pieces. Someday...hopefully he never tires of the character. I doubt it, considering how much he's done with her.

Wonderful Bill S piece. He really hit a home run here. Bravo.
