Artist's Comments

Whew! This one was a FUN one to do. I took one of my favorite George Perez Avengers covers (#181), and recreated it using the Justice League of America (up to the Detroit version with Vibe, Gypsy, Vixen, Steel, etc).

I tried to match the most appropriate JLA'er to each Avenger - either in powers or importance, character-wise, although some were matched just to make a good fit compositionally. Here is the original Avengers cover for reference.

Roll Call! Avenger to JLA'er map
----------------------------------------
Clockwise starting from top left:

Vision - Red Tornado (also in corner box!)
Hercules - Hawkman
Wasp - Hawkwoman
Yellowjacket - Atom
Black Widow - Black Canary
Hawkeye - Green Arrow
Ms. Marvel - Wonder Woman
Charlie 27 - Elongated Man
Thor - Aquaman
Beast - Martian Manhunter
Captain America - Superman
Iron Man - Green Lantern
Wonder Man - Firestorm
Quicksilver - Flash
Moondragon - Sargon the Sorceror
Black Panther - Batman
Captain Marvel - Phantom Stranger
Jocasta - Gypsy
Nikki - Vixen
Martinex - Commander Steel
Yondu - Vibe
Henry Peter Gyrich - Amanda Waller
Scarlet Witch - Zatanna

Whew! This cover really lent itself to almost a straight swap of characters!

I'm thinking of trying to sell the original for this, but part of me would feel sad to lose it, as I really dig it.

The original Avengers 181 cover was by George Perez, this one is most definitely an homage for fun, not a full-on swipe, honest! ;)

It took me a minute to figure this out. I kept looking for the Avengers on the bottom half of the cover, then I read the description and looked again, thinking the Avengers were put into the JLA costumes, but that didn't work either. Then I understood the JLA was substituting for the Avengers. Derrrrrr.

But it is, of course, a very good cover, what else could it be if you did it? And I like the classic JLA logo!

"No, just death. Isn't that enough?"

Thanks! The 'original' is one of my favorite covers of all time.

Later on I may try coloring this in Photoshop in classic 'flat' 70's color style.

Dang, I wish I could do multiple faves on a single deviation.

Any pics in my gallery that look good are because God shone through. Any that don't are because I wasn't listening to Him.

Well, I may color this and post that separately, too. ;)

Thanks for faving this one! I appreciate your appreciation.
