I really like the Grell pencil piece. I have known Mike since he started his
career and years age traded him out of a page of the John Sable book Prey which
he did all on pencil on mylar. His pencils are really nice and rarely seen (he
did some flashback sequences in the revival of Jon Sable double page spreads
that were also done in fully rendered pencils)
Congrats on getting that prelim which is pretty detailed

Subject: [comicart-l] My Best of 2020 entries
Hi All
Thanks again for Bill and Brian for organizing this, as well as all the
participants. Here are my selections and runner ups.
CAF Link to all here
1. Covers - Frank Quitely All Star Superman Wizard Cover
Even though I'm more of a Batman fan, I thought Grant Morrison and Frank
Quitely's All Star Superman was the best Superman story since Alan Moore's
Supreme so I'm glad to get this cover
2. Splashes - John Cassaday Captain America Splash
When I first saw Cassday's Captain America covers, it was so striking that it
led me to read the storyline. I had to flip the page upside down but I'm glad
to finally get a page image from his run!
3. Panel Pages - Alan Moore and Klaus Janson Green Arrow and Black Canary page
One of the rare Alan Moore big 2 superhero story. I guess everyone was trying
to look like Neal Adams back then. And of course everyone loves fishnets!
4. Recreations - Gerry Talaco Hulk 340 (vs. Wolverine) Cover Recreation
One of my few themes are recreations or reinterpretations of the iconic Hulk
340 cover by artists I associate with Hulk or Wolverine. This is so striking!
The colours just popped out at me
5. Other - Mike Grell Green Arrow Longbow Hunter Omnibus Cover Prelim
I love how this cover encapsulates the Green Arrow Longbow Hunters series!
And here are runners ups:
1st runner up - Ian Gibson Judge Anderson Page
2nd runner up - JR JR Man without Fear Miniseries Elektra full splash
3rd runner up - Walt Simonson X-Factor page
Thanks for looking
Malvin
