a classic Byrne image -- used in MOS#1, the cover of Namor #1 I think, and on the cover of WCA (not sure of number - the return of Human Torch issue).

Brennan, that's from the Superman Forever one shot (1998, inks by Janson if I recall correctly).

Here's JB's Namor from issue #1, I love the image but would it have worked just as well as a splash page?

Absolutely! Or even HALF a page, vertically.

I think the take-away from this thread is that there are times when using a DPS is good and brings dynamic impact, and times when it isn't, because the space could be put to better use in telling the rest of the story.

Wow Chad.  That's the best thing I've seen today!  What is it from?  

This is a great thread.

No one inks JB better than JB, but Wiacek does a darn good job!
