Terrific storytelling and great detail!  Thank you for the the description; I missed out on Scott McDaniel's Nightwing run as I had stopped collecting comics at the time.  I will now seek out some reading copies of these books after seeing how nice this page is!

Congratulations on a beautifully rendered page; every panel is terrific, but that third panel is a real show-stopper; thank you for highlighting it!

I agree with everything you wrote about Nestor Redondo in your description and he is another one of those artists that many comic artists I know respect highly.  One example that is burned in my memory is how happy Mike Zeck was with the Nestor Redondo inks over his pencils on the comic Solarman # 1.  Mike very rarely kept any of his own artwork, but he did keep a Solarman page soley because of Nestor's lush finishes over Mike's layouts.  If you've not seen it, you can check out the spalsh page from that issue in my CAF; that is currently the only example of Nestor Redondo artwork in my collection, but I am certainly looking to add something that he penciled and inked. 

Congratulations again on a wonderful page!

I have no idea if all your Walt Kelly Pogo art is posted, but I just went back and counted.  I think you're at about 74 pieces posted right now.  I'm telling you dude, you need to open a museum.  This is a phenomenal collection.

It's funny, but seeing your Walt Kelly collection is actually giving me a new found respect for my 100 Art Adams pieces.  I guess I've been taking them for granted after all these years.  So thanks for that.

You better check your abacus buddy, I've posted a bunch more than 74 Walt Kelly pieces!  (Go to the list of artists on my CAF landing page and click on Walt Kelly... I"m currently at 187 pieces posted and I've got a bunch to go!  :)

As always, thank you for the kind comments; I truly believe Walt Kelly was the greatest comic strip creator of all time and I am honored to be the caretaker of a portion of his legacy!

Another cool piece of AoA character design work that hasn't been seen before.  Of course, now I'm expecting you to have all of Joe's character designs for the other members of the Astonishing X-Men team. :)

Unfortunately, your expectations are too high as I only have one more AoA character design by Joe!  :)   I'll be posting it sometime soon!

Not sure why, but I don't think I would love this piece as much as I do if it were Shrek and Donkey.  I'm guessing his decision to erase the earlier versions had something to do with the circumstances of his leaving Dreamworks, but I'm so glad he made the change.  The motivation may have been more spiteful than artistic, but I absolutely love the results.

You nailed it buddy; Mike's decision to erase the images of Shrek and Donkey were out of spite and frustration for how his tenure at Dreamworks ended.  If you look at the early Shrek designs I have posted HEREyou will see Mike's version of Shrek at the time, Mike (and most art collectors) likely feel the current characters are much more appealing to the eye!

Another interesting tidbit is that the early Shrek designs I reference above were LITERALLY pulled from the Dreamworks trash dumpster once Mike left!  Another animator "liberated" them and sold them to me separately!  Mike Ploog KEPT the Dragon's Castle/Bridge illo because he was fond of it!

And I checked, and these were also used in the corner boxes on #351, 352, and 354-356 after Joe had left the title.

Thank you for the additional info; I have updated the description to reflect your keen detective work!
