Art things

Cross-posting this from flash_rogues because of the Piper and Trickster content...

Thought I'd show off my (belated) birthday-and-Christmas gifts -- three Rogues-related art pages. Includes two pages from Countdown of the boys!

Also, here's an interesting little something I found at the same site that I'd never seen before: a group shot of DC villains, including the Rogues. At first glance, it looks like that well-known Rogues group shot from the '60s that we've all seen, but it isn't. It's clearly based on that picture, but there are significant differences, especially when you compare the Top and Weather Wizard between the two images.

I did some digging, and learned that the DC villains pic is from a reprint comic from 1975, called Limited Collector's Edition Presents Secret Origins of Super-Villains (if you go looking for it, it has a numbered code of C-39). It reprints Captain Cold's first issue, as well as a bunch of other DC villains', and has this group picture as a double-page spread.
