POSTERS part 9 [VIDEO UPDATE]

SUPREME

Alex Ross is a huge fan of Alan Moore (seriously, aren't we all?) so he has taken every opportunity he's had to work with the man, especially on his famous superhero creation, Supreme as well as on the America's Best Comics line. This Superman-like character was created as a way for Moore to do Superman stories after his falling out with DC Comics way back in the late 80's. This character has all the supporting cast and nuances of the well-known Big Blue Boy Scout but taken to the Alan Moore extreme. Alex Ross even redesigned these character later on, you can see the new costume here.

The poster on the left is really cool, it measures 14 X 41 inches (104 X 36 cm) and has so many characters, it's hard to take your eyes off it. The one one the right came in a wizard magazine and I think it's new art because I haven't see this image anywhere else, I love its striking simplicity.
Both are IN MY COLLECTION.

I've made a video about the curious things found among the characters in this poster. Check it out!
