DC COMICS PRESENTS: SUPERMAN – INFESTATION

Here's some comp copies of it...
This was something I've worked many years ago.  Back then, there were four different monthly Superman titles:  Superman, Adventures of Superman, Superman: The Man of Steel, and Action Comics.   That way, there would be a  Superman title published each week of the month.  During one of the months, there was a story line for Superman called INFESTATION, which spanned throughout all four titles.  Four issues that completes one story line.  I was asked to ink over Paco Medina on chapters 2, 3 & 4.  Which are...

ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #591
SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL #113
ACTION COMICS #778

I don't believe the INFESTATION story line has ever been reprinted into on single format.  But today, I got this box of comps that did it!  All four chapters in one single book.   DC Comics was able to release these as a nice '100 Page Spectacular' format book at a good economical price.  

BATMAN: BRUCE WAYNE – THE ROAD HOME, HARDCOVER

Got a comp hardcover copy of this today.  Nice surprise.
This includes some of the work I've done on BRUCE WAYNE - THE ROAD HOME: OUTSIDERS.  It's a fairly big book with lots of pages!  Took me a bit of time to find the pages I've worked on to recall what I've contributed to it.  Or, it may be just that I only inked a few pages and didn't find them in my initial flip through.  In any case, it's always a nice surprise whenever I get comps.  I never know what's in the box until I open it.  Sorta feels like Christmas presents.

BATMAN: BRUCE WAYNE - THE ROAD HOME is in store now.
