2016 N'or Cott Houston Comicpalooza Commission by Tommy Duy Nguyen

I was trying to deduce why I sat on this peachy piece for a bit shy of a decade, besides my usual being a certified idiot. At first I figured that it was too good a piece to throw out cold, so maybe I was waiting on a spotlight month, or it got pushed out by a series of jam piece sections? The best conclusion I could come to is that, like Rick Hoberg's Armek, I was squirreling it away for a second volume of Who's Who in Martian Manhunter that I'll certainly never get around to. That's a shame, because he was a promising comic artist who would have probably appreciated what little exposure this sad little blog of mine could have offered. He even gave me a free Stranger Things print as a thank you for getting two pieces from him that year. Oh yeah, at least I did something right and posted his Michael Biehn as Corporal Dwayne Hicks Space City Comic Con Commission in a timely fashion for the 30th Anniversary of Aliens, which also turned out freakin' sweet! Anyway, I really dig this take on N'or Cott, who maybe cleared the low bar of being J'Onn's greatest any of the 1970s, with the only competition being his partner in war crime R'es Eda or I guess The Thythen. Of the three, I certainly wish N'or Cott had more life in him, especially as rendered by Tommy Nguyen (and of course, Michael Netzer!)
