JUNIOR JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA MEMBERSHIP CERTIFICATE (1942)

With the advent of the U.S.’s entrance into World War II, the Junior Justice Society was formed as a fan club for readers of All-Star comic. A 15¢ admission fee paid for a membership package that included a certificate, a metal badge and a secret decoder key that could be used to decode secret messages in future All-Star Comics. Members of the Junior JSA even showed up in some comic book stories.

LONE RANGER #25 Art by Francesco Francavilla

With the last LR issue (#25) in stores tomorrow, I thought to put together all the 25 covers I did for this run since issue 1 plus the 5 I did for the Lone Ranger and Zorro mini that came out right before this run. (that’s almost 3 years of uninterrupted covers for this great series written by Ande Parks and drawn by Esteve Polls)

Missing drawing the Ranger, Tonto, and Silver already :(

Cheers, FF

Esad Ribic is a master of using lighting and perspective.

-My favorite one is the first image. He only fully rendered a few parts of Thor’s left arm, Mjolnir, his mouth, and his nose. The rest is just suggested by the shading. I look at Esad’s work and I see a lot of echoes from the great illustrators of the Turn of the Century (1900-1901) and the Golden Age of Comics. This guy is GOOD. I found these convention sketches on: http://www.comicartfans.com Yeah. These are sketches. Not fully finished works. Like a said, he’s good.

Things Lois Lane does not envy Wonder Woman:

Her friendship with Superman. Lois knows that they’re close friends and nothing more, and that her own relationship with Clark is deep and pure.

Her power and respect. Wonder Woman has earned that and more.

Things Lois Lane does envy Wonder Woman:

That goddamn lasso

Why do you even need a truth lasso Diana

Think of all the stories she could get with that thing goddammit
