I'm so happy this masterpiece entered your collection, as I had a minor role in his creation! Wonderful cover! Congrats!

Thank you, Brent! I'm really happy!

I don't know if this is a good or bad thing, nowadays... lol

Ahahahah. Let's say he's hiding! 

Thanks a lot. Simple but high impact!

Agreed! This clicks all the boxes!

Another super piece! This is perfection, my friend!

He said that. Instead of getting quicker, he's becoming more obsessive and precise with age.

Jim put some serious effort in this one! It's a perfect piece in every inch! Congrats!

Oh my! Great page!

This is a great Jusko example! What a piece! Stunning image!

I've thought si many times about purchasing this page myself! Im

hapoy it ended in a great home! Wonderful piece!

This is a hidden gem of your collection. Fantastic page! 

He's stunning and I'm very happy he is going back to traditional art!

My pleasure. To my knowledge, this is the only actual pencils of that cover, as the final version should be inks over 11x17 bluelines and this is the reason why it is so detailed.

The hair is mainly Scott. He told me it's the first homework they give to art students, as they can understand how good they are based on  hair rendering. Well, Scott is definitely one of the best around!

Wonderful analysis, as for the visual storytelling. Furthermore, as for the plot, remembering his own trauma helps Bruce in solving the case. Great page 360*.

I love this one. So Risso!

Agreed. Some simple elements but it looks like a complete piece.

I went with Janson on the inks to have the '90 vibe and I did not regret it.

Thank you. It's even better in person.

Agreed. Byrne was not bad, too, LOL! As for the new artists, I really like Larraz.

I can't forget the Jim Lee Magneto version he gave us in X-men #1 and #2. So powerful and menacing even without his helmet! I think this would have been great with some Kirby crackles or magneto spheres on the bg, but im happy nonethless and maybe I'll have the chance to have them added in the future.

Thanks. I asked Scott Williams to ink this, too, but he said it was already cool as is and there's no room for him to work. Fair enough, even if I always think there's some room for Scott's inks!

Totally agree! This is why I waited 14 years and a rare stars' alignment to have it inked 

Agreed. And the colors did not do it justice, too.

I've been very lucky to snag both pencil pages from his dealer and both inks from the same collector later on!

Thanks Jens! I know you love his art, too!

That's all his shadowcast is about!

Thanks. Agreed 100%

Thanks Mark! Waiting for the right chance to have it inked by Jimmy Palmiotti!

I could not resist!

I checked all the Hush pages and I think this one would easily enter the top 30 pages from that run. It's definitely a good Batman in Superman page! :)

Thanks my friend!

Powerful piece! Finch at his apex!

Great analysis. I'm glad you like it, too!

Thanks a lot, Nash! The lights and details are fabtastic in real life.

He really is! Sharing is a good part of the hobby. Thank you for your comment!

Ahahah. He can always use his Right Hand!

He is a master of the craft!

I agree. And this pictuere honestly doesn't make justice to the piece, but I'm too lazy to remove it form the profolio and scan it...

It has all I was looking for. Old style Mignola, Excalibur (no one knew yet, at that time), a killed monster with some blood!

Thank you! I love to add great artists to my collection! ;)

Thanks Gal! He spent a fair amount of hours drawing this piece, I would say a couple at least, that's why the quality is so high! As I said in the description, he is extremely nice and helpful. The best thing is I had the chance to chat with him while he was drawing it!

That's the version I grew up with and still my favourite! Thanks!

It is, thanks!

Grazie Alberto! Uno dei pochi autori moderni completi, secondo me.

Thank you. I always liked SGM style, so he immediately became a must-have when he started working on Batman. In addition, the story is great!

Thanks Ryan, it is my pleasure to share my collection and comments like yours obviously make me happy as a collector. I fully agree with you, it seems like a different moment or a variant position for the cover of X-Men vol.2 #1. I was lucky enough to meet Jim several times and every single time he was a class act! Best!

Thanks Jason! It's amazing how great artists can depict a character and his/her peculiar features with just a few lines, isn't it?!
