Thanos being set loose in DC's silver age would have been wild.

I suspect this took far more time than most of your covers to produce because of the images you had to put together. Great job! (And I remember well that JLA secret origin issue that formed the basis for half of this image.)
ReplyDeleteI remember that one, too, Chuck! The second part of Starbreaker's debut. For those too young to remember? He was initially depicted as a sort of cosmic vampire. A cross (no pun intended) between Dracula and Galactus!
DeleteWasn't the DC half of this taken from JLA 144 -- Steve Englehart's masterpiece, "The Secret Origin Of The JLA, Minus One"? (Also the inspiration for Darwin Cooke's Opus "The New Frontier")
Delete@Carycomic: sorry, dude. But, that was JLA v. 1/#97! JLA v.1/#144 contained the revised origin. Featuring the Martian Manhunter's arch-enemy, Commander Blanx.
DeleteToday's cover would've been a great part 2 in an even greater trilogy. Part 1 being STF #1236 (@ Sept. 2015). And part 3 featuring Thanos vs. Jemm of Saturn!
ReplyDeleteThat would certainly be a good way to finally introduce Saturn's favorite son to the Ross-verse.
DeleteThis fight would be extra challenging, given that, other than the JLA and a couple of others, most of these heroes are unpowered humans.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, who's that behind Plastic Man?
Congorilla
ReplyDeleteWhat if Thanos met Death of this universe? Would he change any? This cover asks suppose Thanos really was two hundred feet tall?
ReplyDeleteWhat if Thanos met Brian Pulido's Lady Death? And what if they manipulated Evil Ernie into battling Black Lantern Edward "the Comedian" Blake (wearing Ernie's former Smiley button) as part of a "friendly competition" between the two?
DeleteI'd never thought I'd see Rex The Wonder Dog on a cover trying to stop Thanos. LOL & yet it works.
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me: what does Prince Namor call his pet dogfish?
ReplyDeleteImperious Rex!
The Anonymous who referenced JLA 144, you are correct. Thanos replaced the White Martian, Commander Blanx on this cover. It was a great story with so many Golden and Silver Age guest stars.
ReplyDeleteI got a kick of reader the banter between Aquaman and Rocky of the Challengers of the Unknown.
DeleteAquaman: "I thought only superheroes would show up."
Rocky: "The Challs will match you any day of the week, Super fish!"
