Just wanna remind/announce this:
And now, Hobbs:
The panels of "glass" are too uniform. Multiple passes of the Stained Glass filter on Photoshop will be needed.
Benjamin Hobbs:
It's 2021! So of course the CIH? team is hard at work on the 2022 books! David Birdsong has been working on a book he wrote, GIANT-SIZE PUBLIC DEFENDERS #1! This is his in-progress cover for the book:
Dave wants to do a variant cover for the book. I suggested a parody of Daredevil Born Again. Initially, keeping the logo the same seemed like a good idea, to lessen the chance of someone thinking it was a different CIH? book:
However, for aesthetic reasons, the logo will probably have to change.
While trying to figure out how best to turn Dore images into stained glass, I made this cover:

"how best to turn Dore images into stained glass"
Vectors and eyeball the average? You'd have way more control... imo
Second thought:
To hell with the average - that's just Photoshop making pudding again (of most things like that)
Humans do it better!
It's more like I wrote the first draft. This is probably the most in-depth collaboration I've done with Dave. He completely re-wrote some pages, wrote a few pages on his own and there are some pages that went through 3 or 4 versions. It's a 48 page wild ride full of every lawyer joke you ever heard filtered through Fred Murdock's personal hell. Bonus: multiple, nearly impossible to follow, two-page spreads of The Silver Cerebus at his rant-filled best. June 2022. That's only 17 (or so) months away so start saving 800 pennies now.
The last cover mock-up looks like "Lite Brite" (tm) to me.

Tell me you're not doing that "Born Again" cover. I just had to look through my collection to try to figure out which cover it was supposed to be. I guess it's the collection's cover itself but even that's still pretty far off.
