I bet there's few (if any) 100% pure Wood art jobs from the mid-60s on through the end of his life.  From what I've read, he always had a crew of assistants working with him during that time.

I know Jim Steranko was the inspiration for Mister Miracle, but has he ever drawn him?

The Mars Attacks IDW TPB had cover art featuring some JB rarities. 

Not only drawing one of the Martians, but Optimus Prime, and most importantly to me, members of KISS!

Popeye is pretty cool, too. Not the first time I've seen JB's version, tho.

The most astonishing part is that this came out in 2013 and I just found out about it earlier this year!

I've never seen that before. Is that the first time JB has drawn a Ghostbuster?

I had forgotten about this JB Godzilla. Clint really had some great commission requests!

Don Newton was a DC mainstay, but to my recollection he never drew a published story featuring Superman:

Meanwhile, Captain Marvel is one of the few characters who never teamed with Batman in Brave and the Bold, so Jim Aparo never got to draw him for a story:

He drew a Superman/Green Arrow team up in DC Comics Presents #54.

Aha, that's right, Colin.  I even have that issue.  Shouldn't have relied solely on memory.
