 I thought it might be fun to show off all of the cool images related to this title over the last seventeen months and thank everyone that supplied their artistic skills. Thanks to all the artists involved here both past and present. |

This was the first image ever done for the DC2 Suicide Squad. Until then I hadn't realized the full impact of why this site was one of a kind. Cover #0 -Jim Dufresne and Scott Kruger-  |

Another guy I miss around here is Kevin. This cover inspired me to blowup both of these guys at the end of the issue.  Cover #3 -Kevin Hill- |

It was crisis time and Kevin managed to throw everyone on the cover I asked for. I wonder why Waller never showed up again after this? Cover #7 -Kevin Hill- |

I made Ramon promise to do this cover long before the story was ever written. No one else could've done it better. Cover Rogues Gallery #2 (SS # 8 1/2) -Ramon Villalobos- |

Craig showed up out of nowhere and just blew everyone away. Ramon showed off why coloring covers is the most under appreciated job on this site but is the most important. Cover #10 -Craig Cermak Ramon Villalobos-  |

I was so thankful that Craig was willing to do another Squad cover that I gave him a list of characters to choose from and he picked Peacemaker. Good freakin' choice! Cover #11 -Craig Cermak Ramon Villalobos-  |

This was a cool idea I kind of stole from an issue of Superman/Batman but Craig and Ramon made it all their own. Of course Craig misunderstood me at first when I said " Nemesis has the scales of justice on his shirt like the lady justice symbol", he thought I meant Lady Justice. I wonder if I could work her into to something somewhere because she looks bad ass in the sketch. Of course Ramon stepped in to finish the cover when Craig got hurt. I guess it turned out OK. Fine, it was kick ass as usual. Cover #12 -Craig Cermak Ramon Villalobos-  |

Doc was gracious enough to do the annual cover featuring the Calculator. Noah turned out creepy cool. I then had the nerve to ask him to change the background to all flames because the title of the issue was 'Burning Down the House' he did and I thought it totally rocked. The best part was when the annual got split up into two issues I instantly had two covers! Annual #1 -Dr. Dread-  |

This was something my very talented wife did for the possible Black Orchid collection. She took an already cool image done by Scott and Jim and dressed it up a bit. Black Orchid TPB promo -Jim Dufresne &Scott Kruger - graphic design: Sandra Elbe |

Here's a never before seen sketch of Nightshade by Jim Dufresne. I swear if this guy ever comes back I will do a six part Nightshade mini-series just to see him his work here again. Nightshade- Jim Dufresne |

Carlos is another artist I would be willing to write a character specific mini series just to see what he would come up with. Here's a sketch he whipped up for the Black Orchid tale that will see the light of day eventually. Black Orchid2- A.I. Carlos That's it for now. Thanks again to everyone involved in the Art Department for making the DC2 Suicide Squad such an incredible experience for me. A picture is worth much more than a thousand words! |
