Here's a chase card from the second (and final) universe spanning DC card set to feature original comic art. I can't recall what the scarcity of these things was, but an awful lot of people are selling this online for about five bucks, so I figure there were at least 4-6 in each box. There is no 3-D effect, as the card instead badly attempts to portray motion. A chromatic outline of Lobo appears in the distance if you tilt the card one way, plus some space dolphins, and three pursuit ships (one exploding.) Tilt the card a bit, and a fully rendered Lobo appears in the 2-D foreground with a larger, better drawn dolphin. Tilt it some more, and you get a space scene background. It's rudimentary, dull, and the flat metallic silver does it no real favors. I assume the art's by Val Semeiks, but there's no credit listed.
Frank...I'm tilting my laptop but I'm getting no 3D effect whatsoever. Am I doing something wrong?
ReplyDeleteI never knew Lobo consorted with dolphins that long ago. I thought that was a 52 invention.
As far as I know, the dolphin thing came out of L.E.G.I.O.N. I haven't read The Last Czarnian in twenty years, but I'm pretty confident the dolphins were being used by then, and certainly no later than Lobo's Back.
ReplyDeleteI know his appearance in JLI when Scott Free was kidnapped he was hangin out with Space Dolphins. Magna Khan was paying him in dolphin food as I recall.
