If you had told me that Jon Cryer - the actor who played Lenny Luthor in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace would decades later play Lex himself (more convincingly than the latest big screen version), I would never had believed it. That is what has come to pass, though!
This marks the Eighth cover featuring The Danvers Twins:
They faced off with an angry pet in STF #2144...
They battled The Gladiatrix in issue #1872...
They faced a stone centurion in Issue #1808...
They had robot problems in Issue #1414
They were at odds with one another in Issue #763...
They played a trick on the world in Issue #520...
...and they were first revealed to be sisters way back in Issue #152
Nice salute to Jon Cryer's birthday today!
ReplyDeleteYES! An Art Saaf Supergirl. I always felt he was the only one that could get that costume right. I hope you are doing well, Ross.
ReplyDeleteAlways a favorite!
ReplyDeleteJust had a horrible thought. What if the Earth-STF version of Lena Thorul turned out to be a Danvers triplet?!
ReplyDeleteAs good as Jon is as Luthor (and the only weaknesses I can find are in the sometimes forced dialogue the writers give him), to me the most convincing Lex Luthor is a toss-up between Gene Hackman and Michael Rosenbaum.
ReplyDeleteJust curious, Ross: Is that Woman magazine from the original art, or your own creation?
(I'm still hoping to see a Luthor vs. Foxbat Presidential election cover!)
From the original Ms. Marvel image, Bob.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jon said he collects Kirby art. Lex's "role" was to make himself the paragon of truth cause the real paragon couldn't do a good enough job?
ReplyDeleteHmmm..Supergirl, Ms. Marvel, Black Canary, Mockingbird, Power girl could become The Blonde League of Avengers
Somebody say cross the streams? ok. Have The Men in Black encounter Beetlejuice. Would he be considered just another alien?
And Ross, you ain't done the one challenge I what thought you would have loooong ago
Galactus at the county fair contest table vs Matter Eater Lad!! The steaks are HUGE!!
I love that you used a Gary Frank (known for his curvy women) Luthor along with the cheesecake Supergirl (hot pants and cleaveage) and Ms. M (midriff panel) costumes.
ReplyDeleteMen in Black and the Great Gazoo?
ReplyDeleteOr, failing that, how about Robert Downey as Sherlock Holmes vs. Madonna as the twin sister of Breathless Mahoney? That way, Ross could entitle it... "The League of Ambitious Blondes!"
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly second the suggestion from Anon@6:47.
ReplyDelete@Krypto: The steaks and the stakes would be huge!
Great to see the Danvers girls together again in their Super-Team alternate comic reality. Yes, the Danverse!
ReplyDeleteI get a kick out of these sibling relationships you've dreamed up. Ever thought of cramming them all together? You managed a double date with Cap/Wonder Woman & Power Girl/Luke Cage.
As for Lex Luthor, much as I like Gene Hackman, he never worked as Lex for me. Michael Rosenbaum. Now you're talking!

first issue cover: Gazoo surrounded by the MIB. Balloon reads: Really? & snapping his fingers.
second issue cover: Gazoo is now dressed as a MIB. Cover reads: Really!
and Ross, sometimes we do these detailed covers without any art to try and entertain you too.
