First Appearance of Star Sapphire. Recolor of the title page from Green Lantern no.16 (1962)

I am currently reading all of Gil Kane's original Hal Jordan stories, I'm about half way through. It is crazy how much he charges by the time he's drawing the Death Of Gwen Stacy a few years later. Anyways I recolored this page from GL16, the title pages would often show you the story climax then page two you'd be back to the beginning. Swipe for Kane & Murphy Anderson's original art and DC modern colors.

Recolor of The Incredible Hulks no.624 Dale Keown Variant.

I recolored Dale Keown's variant cover of The Incredible Hulks no.624 (2011) celebrating Captain America's 70th Anniversary. I wanted to see how Dale's art looked with a more classic color job on two classic characters.

Swipe for Dale's incredibly tight pencils that need no inks, just push the contrast up, the published cover with Peter Steigerwald's colors, and zooms.

Neal Adams covers Thor vs Silver Surfer!

The legendary Neal Adams redid the iconic cover from Silver Surfer no.4, by John & Sal Buscema, for a 2019 Wisconsin Comic Con poster giveaway. The colors were kinda flat, so I redid them, and gave it a "Journey Into Mystery" title as a nod to Thor's first book. Swipe for Neal's inks, the original poster colors, and SS4 cover.

BWS - Conan v Rune pg 3, recolor

The third page of my recoloring of Barry Windsor-Smith's 1995 Conan vs Rune. The full art for the issue is on Heritage Auctions, and I am going color in my retro pulp-ish style, limited color palette with a dot matrix for blending. From what I understand BWS hated the colors, I have to agree with him, the blacks are too blown out. It was the early days of digital coloring so I give Marvel some slack. Swipe for his original art and the original colors. I posted pages 1&2 a little while back if you missed them.
