Dr. Mirage by Bernard Chang & Ken Branch

Post by sonicdan »

I've had this Dr. Mirage piece for a long time and finally got around
to scanning it in. Definitive image of Dr. Mirage by Bernard Chang
and Ken Branch. It's on Vellium paper which is a but unusual.
The first person who can tell me in what book this art was used
for get's a no-prize!

suh-weeeeet! that is one thing i like about chang. he has his own very distinctive style. i remeber reading somewhere that, i think it was bob kane, saying that he prefered an artist to concentrate more on style than on realism in comic art. if you can mix both, more power to you.

Why don't you PM Dr. Mirage himself - Bernard Chang. he is a member here... He even posted here either yesterday or the day before.

Negative. Here's a hint...
It was used in a Valiant Comic, but not in Dr. Mirage 1-18.
