While I know it was hardly EVER ...Flattered, I am.<br /><br />While I know it was hardly EVER done "back-in-the-day", nowadays it's not unheard of for ther UPC box to be shunted to the BACK cover, thus freeing up some valuable real-estate.<br /><br />Still, I know that designing art that is MEANT to be used for a cover, as opposed to a pin-up, would necessitate the planning for logo space and room for other cover design elements (corner box, price and issue # fields, etc...), so I would have done it differently.<br /><br />Still, I am quite humbled by the lavish attention you showered on my line-art.<br /><br />One day... one day... I'll actually color it.<br /><br />After the auction (mine is up on the block starting Dec. 22, 2010) I will showcase the FINALIZED black-and-white version on my blog.<br /><br />Be on the lookout for it.<br /><br />~P~~P~https://www.blogger.com/profile/09299078564477985626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-378028831893438892010-12-22T02:32:34.657-08:002010-12-22T02:32:34.657-08:00well i think now that this art work has not only b...well i think now that this art work has not only been colored but now made into a cover i think we're finally done with it. this was a good team effort not so much unlike the real world of comic book publishing in which someone does the pencils, another does the colors and or inks and then of course there's someone for the lettering.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-79665945675990568602010-12-20T05:22:59.482-08:002010-12-20T05:22:59.482-08:00I agree.

Fighting off all the baddies 360 degrees. I wonder how many other artists hated having their works of art cut off when they were slapped on the cover of a mag? But then...THEY WERE SLAPPED ON THE COVER OF A COMIC! So there you go.Randomnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216600316804854172noreply@blogger.com
