That face....that face....pure gold! DC really has such a treasure trove of characters that they simply don't know how or are unwilling to utilize

DEADMAN is a no-brainer for a TV series…. love the concept… and I really wish JB had taken a shot at a monthly series featuring Boston Brand.

Congrats to the owner of this piece!

I've wanted to see DEADMAN as a TV series since I read the comics in the Seventies. THE FUGITIVE with a twist!

Unfortunately, these days that twist -- soap opera stories with Boston Brand inhabiting the bodies of different people -- might remind viewers too much of QUANTUM LEAP.

Hoo boy... the cemetery maintenance crew has gotten behind and I love the result.   So powerful and creepy.  Is that Gerry Conway's name in the upper left?  If so, it looks like he's gotten loose from his crypt (I didn't even know he worked on Deadman)!!  Maybe it's Steinway. 

Love the old tree on the right.   Your backgrounds have been particularly great lately.

I'm quite surprised we've not seen him yet on one of the DC tv shows.

Those hands are damn near perfect. Ol' big John Buscema would have a hard time doing better than those!

No, I haven't offed Gerry Conway in this piece. That half hidden name is a very, very subtle in joke. My piano is a SteiNWAY, from their Boston Brand.

I kid you not!
