DescriptionI have to say...My heart skipped a beat when I saw the last page of this Origins and Omens backup story in Adventure #0..and I didn't think Conner Kent would ever return again. Who knows how he will return...but however he does...I am none too happy...I always thought a "Superboy" belonged in the DC Universe in some shape or form...and I loved the Geoff Johns introduction of Conner into the Titans many years ago...it just fit...I didn't mind him dying a hero at the heart of Infinite Crisis....because it just made him a greater character in my mind....and I let go of any hope of seeing him again b/c of legal battles, etc.....So when I saw that page....my heart just leapt....and I got really excited about what's to come....plus with Francis doing his own inks...for me, this was a Must Have page. I was really slow to the uptake in contacting his dealer Shawn after it came out...and actually I was the second in asking for the page....and really didn't think it would come to me. The page nearly went a continent away but because of failing world economy and bad exchange rates...the other buyer fell through and I got this grail piece.....Thanks so much Shawn and really beautiful work by Francis (love his own ink washes !!!)see the process on Francis's home page: http://francismanapul.com/news/?p=101 or on deviantart: http://manapul.deviantart.com/art/Origins-and-Omens-pg-6-process-112356472 Here's to Hoping....sometimes it does work out !!!

When I saw that page originally on Francis' website, I thought of you.. and lo, it appears. I am so happy a great piece has found a good home. Whether its Blackest Night or Legion of 3 Worlds, I echo your sentiments, Connor needs to come back. Congratulations on a great piece

Looks like you beat me to the punch on this one. I was hoping someone on this site purchased it. You should check out the Superboy I have http://comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=151091&GSub=23611
