Green Lantern No. 71 Cover by Gil Kane

March 10, 2018|In General

A simple and powerful composition by artist Gil Kane for this issue cover dated September 1969. Kane’s cover design abilities were advancing steadily and would serve him well when he moved over to Marvel in the coming years.

The original colouring of the hands flattens them out, so I thought it possible to bring something more dramatic to their part in the storytelling. New colour version.
