Book is the single highest graded. Nighthawk of the Squadron Supreme is featured on this variant cover from the third issue of his own 2016 series drawn by artist Keron Grant. I also own the original art cover that Keron Grant made for this book.
The Squadron Supreme began life as a tribute to DC's Justice League of America back in 1971's Avengers #85. Nighthawk is the Squadron's Superman analog. Considering their roots, Marvel has done...and continues to do... quite a bit with these characters.
Keron Grant is a Jamaican artist who has worked for both DC and Marvel over the past several years. According to Wikipedia: "Keron Grant (born August 23, 1976, in Montego Bay) is a Jamaican-American comic book artist, who has worked mostly for Marvel Comics. His first published work was a pinup in the back of one of the final issues of Dale Keown's Pitt. His first steady comics work was drawing three issues of the unpublished Century comic from Rob Liefeld's Awesome Comics. His job drawing online comics for the Matrix series led to a short stint on Iron Man when Matrix comics inker Rob Stull brought Grant to the attention of Marvel editors."
The art has an approximate image area of 13" X 18", ink on Vellum, published July 20 2016. The overlay with the Marvel and title logos was made by James Pascoe and is completely removeable.
I greatly appreciate the impressionistic use of light and shadows in this piece, which enhance the atmosphere and the foreboding anticipation. I try to find new pieces illustrating different emotions, and this piece is one of the best I've found to show (foreboding) anticipation - or simply the calm before the storm.
Even my wife likes this piece - that doesn't happen often! Actually she said that this piece looks more like real art than comic art, and I'm still trying to understand what she possibly could have meant by that strange remark... ;-)
