Commie Superman!

I recently finished another Great Comics That Never Happened cover for Comics Alliance, written by Chris Sims. Check out the finished version (and plot!) on CA's site.

I really wanted to put Jimmy Olsen in his more-iconic green suit, but it just didn't look as good in the overall aesthetics of the cover. Here's my inks, just to make this post a little longer...

Carlos just beat me to it. I use Red Son in my lessons.

I believe Chris Sims intended the cover to be a riff on the Red Son book. It's probably better to group this in the "Silver Age Remix" category.

Such as... http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/05/31/silver-age-war-light-green-lantern/

Genius, beautiful work, I am always excited by your art, it makes me want to hit the drawing board, it's such a great mix of talent between WHAT to draw and HOW WELL it is drawn.

Can't wait for more.

Oh yeah, and I liked Red Son but I would have preferred this.
