It's been over half a year since I last posted! I was very busy with work but now I've been afforded a bit of a break so I managed to finish a new piece. I dabbled with a modern coloring style, hopefully I still managed to capture the essence of 1970s/1980s comic books with this one.
Captain Marvel is one of my all-time favorites ever since I first picked up Shazam no. 2, with the cover depicting him flying straight out of a comic book, and as a kid I didn't realize that the guy who fought the Man of Steel in Superman no. 276 was not the same guy. That was Captain Thunder, DC's test run to see if readers would want to see Superman and Captain Marvel battle it out. I guess it worked because eventually the two heroes would collide for real a short while later.
It would have been a hoot to see Marvel and Thunder encounter one another. And if you look closely at my depiction above you'll see who's masterminding this fight.
Love it!

ReplyDeleteHi Felix. Quite busy these days. But I hope you find somebody.
DeleteI love it! Is this available as a print?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, no. I'm hesitant to sell art prints of IPs I don't own.
DeleteFantastic cover art! The only problem is the price. In August of 1978 DC comics were still 35 cents! They didn't hit the 75 cent mark for a standard comic until October of 1983.
ReplyDeleteHa ha yeah. I just use an 80s template for the upper right corner box. I just change the issue number and date. :)
