Archie Union of Super Heroes
« on: September 23, 2019, 06:47:10 PM »
During the 60s, "Archie's Madhouse" feat. parodies of superheroes, so I dusted them off to "legitimize" them. The issues #27-47 did not contain a copyright notice and were not registered with the copyright office. So, they are public domain.

I wanted a "serious" drawing of them, maybe around a table like the original JSA or the McGuire JLA cover - something showing them from about waist up.

Artist Lee Gaston kicks ass with this baby.

Superwitch wears a red pointy hat and minidress covered with crescent moons, stars and ringed planets. Her costume clearly doesn’t need a cape. ;)
