Cheetah playing card (6 OF SPADES) by Louis Small Jr. * Southern Maryland Comic Con 2012

And here we go! This is my first entry for my deck of cartds paying tribute to Justice League of America # 195 - 210. I understand that there were a lot of great issues before and after (in fact, a few in between that I have to skim over too). But the arc with the Secret Society of Super Villains vs. the JLA and the JSA is one of my all time favorites. The cover where the villains are crossing off heroes is so strong in my memory (pictured below in additional images)

Cheetah was amazing in this arc. She was so vicious and so terrifying. Yet strangely attractive to me (when I was 6 years old). I guess I wouldn't do to well against her in a fight. :)

I saw Louis at SoMDCon. I knew of his work, especially on Vampirella. So I figured this was a good match. He seemed very enthusiastic about the piece. So I gave him my copy of JLA 195 and away he went! Super-happy with how this turned out. Thanks Louis!
