One of the dreams I have always had is to get my favorite artists from the 1980's and have them draw the characters they are most closely associated with on a jam piece.
Finally got up the nerve to start in 2014. It began with Mike Grell at Tampa Bay Comic Con in 2014 doing Green Arrow and Black Canary and doing layouts for the other characters in pencil. From there the art was shipped to Jerry Ordway who added Superman and brought it with him to CT Comicon 2014. At CT Comicon, I managed to persuade Jose Garcia-Lopez to add Batman. Flash forward to MegaCon in Orlando, Florida in 2015 and my friend George Perez put the finishing touches on the piece when he added Wonder Woman.
To say I am thrilled is an understatement. It came out even better than I had imagined. And, every single artist was a pleasure to work with. A real treasure that I will enjoy forever (or until i die, whichever comes first!).
