Original and fixed for the trade.

Eyelids mistaken for eyes. It was amazing.

An example of the original pencils vs the terrible finishing.

Can someone explain why this is so bad? I see the weird leather strap on the left side of her face, but I've gotta be missing something.

Why the finishing is considered bad? They eyes go skewed, eyelids are left out (e: or turned into the eye on her left), nostrils look worse, her left wrist cuff gets fishnets, mistakes the goggles strap for a bald patch.
The eyes are the worst.

If you can please help me, I'd really appreciate it. I read a panel on here once about loss and how it was like being told you could never see the ocean again. How it didn't matter that it was there and you had memories of it, you'd never get to see it.

My mom is not doing well, and I'd really like to see whatever comic that comic was from tonight. Thanks if you can help.

Batman/Superman #14: Batman's been mindwiped by a god of chaos. He's been running around doing a little crimefighting (kind of humorously, he still remembers how to fight pretty much just off muscle memory), but accidentally got some people shot facing off against Scarecrow and had to run back to the Cave.







It's always so sad watching Alfred just trying to talk Bruce into quitting.

I "get" why Lichtentstein's poo poo was considered kosher, but it was also mean-spirited and snobby and even if there's nothing "wrong" with it (and even if we'd all do the same in his shoes) it's still really lovely to ride that to the bank.

And the person who won it gets $10k on top of a salary that is less than $50k on average.

Not really the same ballpark as $4m.

When you (you personally, not the ambiguous 'you') produce something original and then someone else copies it and sells it as their own work, you might develop a different outlook.

That might make sense, I guess, if Lichtenstein's painting had been of Irv Novick, and not one of his drawings.

If you're going to try and make money from a musical cover you have to pay a licensing fee to the original artist.

All is, if i have grace to use it so...
drat, I just did a little research and the whole Lichtenstein painting Irv Novick's panels is even worse than it sounds at first. Lichtenstein's process was just using a projector to trace and being lax with details, he didn't change anything but remove a speech bubble, copy a similar plane from a different panel and generally make it look worse. To add insult to injury, Lichtenstein claims he made it trying to find something that galleries wouldn't hang. The point of his 'art' is that the original panel isn't art.
For reference, the original:

I think those are the names of people whose careers were primarily at Marvel.

(It sure would've been great if they'd spelled "Memoriam" properly.)

I wonder how much they messed with the design to get Jack Kirby's name right in the center above Cap's head.
