Very nice, but it looks from the artist's note as though this was actually based on an Astro City cover (I think issue #1 of the DC run - https://www.dc.com/comics/astro-city-2013/astro-city-1 - rather than the issue #2 they've written) as opposed to the B&B cover.

I almost hate to nitpick such a fantastic piece of art, but it was the cover of Amazing Heroes #3, not #4.

Very nice, but it's not a reinterpretation of an Invaders cover at all - it'd be for either Marvel Two-In-One Annual #1 or MTIO #20, both of which featured the Thing and the Liberty Legion (and, as depicted here, the villainous Master Man).

Thanks! There's one more out with an artist right now, another being sorted with a different artist at the end of this week, and several more in the planning stage.

It's a great cover - but the fact that Stephen has signed it "after Alan Davis" makes me pretty confident that it *wasn't* based on the Kubert Batman cover indicated...

This is great--love it!

Thanks!

Since Kamikaze was clearly Roy Thomas' villainous nod-and-wink to Bulletman, I couldn't resist having the two face off against each other.

Errr ... pretty confident that's not by Stehen Baskerville, since that's not his signature.

Brilliant work - but again, this one seems to be by Ian Richardson rather than Ricardo Silva...

This is a complete guess, but since the All-Stars seem to be battling a "feathered serpent", I wonder if this might have been a tryout piece by Adrian, misinterpreting something from Roy Thomas or Len Wein about the content of issue #6 (?)

Oh yes! This would fit in so well with Mort's regular recycling of the "Legionnaires become infants" plot!

Great work from Stephen!

That's a great cover choice which has flown under my radar and I like the choice of co-star 

I have to say I hadn't spotted it until recently (well, last year) - some of the reprint material has covers which are just ripe for adapting!

This was originally intended as the splash page to All-Star Comics #70 - see here: http://comicartads.com/content/original-art-gallery-mitch-itkowitz-1978 and then click on the "inside front cover" link for full details - and I believe was then later revamped for use as the cover of Amazing Heroes #3.

It's a great cover composition from Buckler and his short run on the covers after Avengers 100 deserves to be looked at again for the dramatic qualities put on the table.  Clinton does a great job subbing in the characters in tune with the story.  Out of curiosity, do you give the artists the plot before the project?   

No - I give the artists all the character substitutions, and I've had the basic plot outline for all of these in my head for years, but they don't see the plot in advance.

Glad I took a second look at this - I was absolutely *convinced* you'd based this on the Tagak The Leopard Lord debut issue (DD #72) until I paid attention to what the actual source was...

Another great classic layout!  Good thing the costumes are easy to identify from the back!  Howard packs in the danger and desperation on this cover!

It's lucky I picked three heroes who *could* be identifed from behind, really... ;)

Great choice to work in FDR as the Commander in Chief!

Thanks.

Actually it's FDR's fourth appearance (unless I've forgotten one) on these covers - he also appears on issue #69, in silhouette, as well as issues #110 and Annual #8.

I am loving these tales. Cannot wait until you turn your talents towards the Legion. Batman & Hourman are such a natural fit. Have tou done a Dr Mid-Nite one ?

No Dr Mid-Nite yet - he'll be in a three-part story, sometime in the next year or so.

I've only just spotted that the logo on this and previous issues of the current run is homaging that used on LSH #61 (the second part of the Magic Wars storyline), with the lettering transforming into a more "magical" look, complete with the little dragon.

Nice touch!

Terrific cover homage! Great images of Johnny Quick, and I really like that distinctive JQ logo.

It's not Johnny's most common logo, but I took it from the JQ story in More Fun Comics #79 (though it did appear in a few other issues as well).
