@Brad - Yes it's Diana. The Justice Lords are a JLA team from another dimension. The premise is the Justice Lords rule the Earth. While not really evil they are just more ruthless than the JLA.

Not being a regular reader of DC, my first impression was also Janet Van Dyne. Must have been the "W"! My second guess was a "Wonder Girl" from the Teen Titans ! However, the better part of discretion held sway and I decided to wait and see if this was some other version of Wonder Woman. And I guess I am not the only one who was stumped by this character's identity! I like JB's commission as the character has lots of "youthful spunk and determination" !
BTW: Is that Martian Manhunter with the Dr. Strange (window) logo on his chest ? Is that a public domain symbol? And what does it mean, if anything?

Love it. I really enjoyed the Justic Lord designs. (Except for G.L., really didn't like that one.) More, please!

@Dan Walsh: That's probably a stylized Mars on MM's chest.

Very cool! I hope we see more of your renditions of animated characters in your style, JB!

Excellent! That's one of my favorite "tricks" of yours, taking a cartoon or comic strip character (be it The Simpsons or Crankshaft, to name but a few) and having you put your spin on it.
I am also unfamiliar with the Justice Lords (I've heard of the episodes of JLU, just never saw them) so at first I thought it was an alternate costume for Donna as well.

okay, i adore how JB's signature bubble is dislodged and part of the rubble, even seemingly casting shadow on other bits -- JB's moving the signature inwards on his images bristolls against some of my sensabilties at times, but i love this.
Oh and yes, the Justice Lord's Wonder Woman is quite nice as well.

Nice. I thought it was Wonder Girl at first glance.

I've come across that wierd version of Superman (blue and white) just recently reading JB's WWoman's run and I have to confess I have no idea who/what it is. Any help ?

The predominantly red costume, in color, does have a Wonder Girl vibe.

••
A little trick I picked up from Frank Frazetta. When asked why he signed his
pieces so close to the center, he is reputed to have said "So no*&%ing editor
can crop it!"

Philippe, that's the "electric" Superman. Superman was somehow (I have barely scanned the issues during this run of the series) super-charged with electricity and became more of an electric-powered hero for a (thankfully) short period of time.
