I was browsing eBay...one of my ways of killing time at work, and came across this poster by JB and I don't recall ever seeing it before. It looks like it was done around the time of JB's final days on X-Men unless it was done as a commision piece later.
Thanx in advance for any info, Dave.
(Edited for the lack of a grasp on the English language)

Whereas I don't know the "story" behind it, you'll be excited to know that there was a second poster that goes with it!

I seem to recall it coming out... oh... 1990? Mid-90's maybe? To celebrate some sort of Marvel/DC cross-over?

Handing the story to the next person...

Definatly a 2 poster set for the Marvel/DC crossovers. My son has both of mine proudly displayed in his room. Opposite of how they should be hung tho.

I'm not a Byrne Victim, I'm a volunteer!

I have the DC side. This is a nice piece.

Did JB do the DC side as well? If so, is it in the same vein as this one?

Yes, and they're companion pieces. They're meant to be displayed side-by-side.

I sure would love to see the B & W of this one!

edited to add: Sorry I exceeded the forum width restrictions, but I figured you would
rather see the entire piece together instead of just the second half.

I have that DC poster. Would be fun to to find the Marvel one too...

It's a nice set of posters, but it's a shame that the two companies characters were not interacting.

I'm sure you can figure out the reason for that!!

wonder if there was any brouhaha about DC getting the FRONT cover? Seems like an argument that would occur to SOMEBODY there....-Rick

Why do you guys always look for the dirt?

These drawings were not done to be covers, they were done to be posters. (If they were done to be covers, do you think I would have drawn characters up where the logo would cover them?)

The characters are not interacting so the posters could be sold separately, the DC half by DC and the Marvel half by Marvel.

JB, who is obscured by the "SHOP" logo?
My guess is Luthor, but I'm not certain.

Darkseid, Luthor and that one-eyed Teen Titans villain whose name eludes me.

"The characters are not interacting so the posters could be sold separately, the DC half by DC and the Marvel half by Marvel."

I knew that of course, but a shame all the same.

Slade, aka Deathstroke: the Terminator. Mercenary. Assasin for hire. Father of the mute Teen Titan Jericho (who was actually referred to as a 'mutant' on panel in a Wolfman/Perez issue of NTT).

They tried to go all Punisher with him and make him an anti-hero with his own book for a while. I have no idea what his current status is, aside from being the "big bad" over on the Teen Titans cartoon.

Ha ha... Dr Doom is shaving Colossus's underarms! tee hee!

<<sigh

Why do you guys always look for the dirt?>>

Not intentionally "looking for dirt". After seeing how the two companies behaved during the first proposed JLA/Avengers 20 years ago, I was thinking out loud (always a big mistake) about perceived slights in a possible cover situation, WHICH was evidently wrong to do. Did not mean....I'm just going to file a report at a later date. -Rick

these two posters have graced my wall for at least ten years. my mom brought them home one day, and it's one of the many reasons why she's the best mom ever.
