The Dynamic Defenders

This detail-intense two-page spread took forever and a day to complete. Joe uses a lot of blue line underdrawing, which lifts the ink off after erasing, so I spent a good week on it, spread out over a couple months. It was such an undertaking, I'd have to work on it around my more deadline-oriented gigs. I made a reduced photocopy, then referenced it to touch up all weak spots that faded. Separating the characters with thicker contour lines was also quite a challenge, but I'm happy with the result.
