Description

This cover is Big! The image area is 14 1/4 by
13 5/8. It's on heavy weight duo-shade paper.
Duo-shade acts like zip-tone, but doesn't age the same way because it's part of the papers texture.The old EC comic artists used it quite abit..it's how Wally Wood got all those stunning "greytones", or how Howard Chaykin did his American Flagg. This was used as art for quite afew recap panels [the art was originally only going to be an art-patch used for the flashbacks], then became a last minute cover,and is now going to be the cover for the upcoming hardcover...you just never know what your "children" will be over time....

Beautiful piece. I wish DC would correct the colors on Zatanna before it's put on the hard cover. This page is awesome though. Lucky and talented you. ;)

I'm glad I'm not a DC fan because not owning a piece like this would be way too depressing. I still love it.

I loved this piece the second i saw it.I know Wonder Woman was retconned out of this JLA and i think J'onn was absent in this time period( though he was back for the 200th issue and could have been included) BUT WHY was Hawkgirl left out?

I looked at the piece without noticing you inked it. A stunning piece of art. A true talent.

This is just a beautiful piece. Every comic fan dreams to own a piece like this and you not only own it, but created it?!?! You are truly blessed.
