Comic Art Commission
« on: November 23, 2010, 05:46:17 PM »

I decided to (at least look into) getting some comic art commissions done, primarily "fake" comic covers. Basically, I'm pretending the public domain superheroes continued to be published after WWII just like DC and Marvel, with the simplifying caveat that they were all bought by one company.

So, I want some covers done that reflect various time periods (Silver Age, Bronze Age, etc.), culminating in some inter-company crossover covers (DC/Marvel/Other).

I'm unsure whether or not to "pretend" these crossovers started in the 60s/70s/etc., or just recently.

I wanted Al Plastino to re-do Adventure #300 (I know, it was Curt Swan, but he was doing Superman at the time and inked an interior) with PD characters, for example.

Anyway, I wanted to have, for example, a cover done in the 1970s style of John or Sal Buscema (Avengers cover), and can't decide to keep it simple with just the PD characters, or a crossover with the AVengers and have both PD/Marvel characters on it. That is - I'm losing focus!!

IDEAS?? But not of the "include this character" type, just concepts.

It's not exactly "Golden Age" and the characters certainly aren't public domain, but here's a new one:

The original artist/co-creator of the LSH, Al Plastino, drew this for me.

Cross Post from DCM:

At some point, I think I want to re-do this cover with PD characters:

http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/File:Justice_League_of_America_Vol_1_124.jpg

I've figured out the substitutions for all the characters, except:
Wildcat, Johnny Thunder, and Hourman.

I want to replace them with Golden Age PD characters with similar powers or origins or ... you know, some kind of equivalent.


Just to open this topic up a bit, why not say who you think should replace who and why ....

JLA:
Batman -
Flash -
Aquaman -
Hawkman -
Green Arrow -
Black Canary -

JSA:
Wonder Woman -
Dr. Mid-Nite -
Robin -
Wildcat -
Hourman -
Johnny Thunder -
