Conflict in the Hall of Justice

I took the original DC Comics Kevin Maguire/Terry Austin artwork from 1987's Justice League no.5 comic book art and extended it out into a larger scene.

[Workflow: I used Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) to create my draft work items, and then progressed to the final image with further prompts.  Final clean-ups and alterations within Affinity Photo.]

The Wizard of Oz #4 - Pulp Fiction Comics Exclusive Variant Cover

I've created an imaginary variant comic book cover for IDW Publishing this time. Inspired by the original 1957 Classics Illustrated Junior #535 - The Wizard of Oz, painted by Dik Browne.

[Workflow: Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) prompts for base pieces. Affinity Photo collaged components, logo, issue headers, designed the barcode, layering FX, sunflare, and shadows, and inserted creator credits. Additionally, I used Topaz Gigapixel to upscale various elements of the image flow as needed.]

Justice League #41 - ComicBase Exclusive 'JL#1 Maguire Homage' Cover by TrUzApalOOza

I've created another imaginary DC Comics variant comic book cover.  Inspired by the original Kevin Maguire/Terry Austin artwork from 1987's Justice League no.1 comic book art.   

[Workflow: I sourced images from various DC comic book covers and fed them into Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) to create multiple base pieces. I then imported these into Affinity Photo, where I began collaging various components. I then finalized the "versus Toyman" logo, adjusted the layout of the blank sketch cover, designed the barcode, and inserted patriotic-hued creator credits. Additionally, I used Topaz Gigapixel to upscale various elements of the image flow as needed.]
