Hi guys
As usual thanks to Nightcrawler - here are some scans of the latest cover.

Unusually for me, as this was a silhouette design, I also did a VERY rough color thumbnail of what I had in mind. Here it is [Smile]

And here's the inked version...click on the thumbnail to see the larger version!

Hope you like 'em!

Thanks Barry!

Ok, I know everybody's already said who they think each silhouette is, but here are my guesses -

In the front and on the ground, from left to right: Triplicate Girl, Saturn Girl, Ultra Boy, Chameleon, Lightning Lad, Cosmic Boy, Princess Projectra, Shrinking Violet/Atom Girl, Shadow Lass, Karate Kid, & Colossal Boy/Micro Lad.

Flying above SG's head is Chemical King [Smile] , next to him is Phantom Girl, below PG is Element Lad, above PG is Light Lass, with Timber Wolf just below her.

Above the flag is Star Boy.

Below the flag is Matter-Eater Lad [Smile] high in the distance, then Brainiac 5, below him Bouncing Boy [Smile] , to their right is Invisble Kid, with Dream Girl's legs being shown, and finally Sun Boy just above Cosmic Boy's head.

I won't speculate on who's who, but I like all of the new additions Nightcrawler suggested!

Very dramatic cover, especially in colour - but the b&w is a knock-out too. Just wondering if the choice of silhouettes has something to do with the silhouette roll call page in each issue.

I think this is my favourite cover so far, but it's a difficult choice given the preceding 11.

Love the rough draft - it's very eyecatching and spooky too.

The b&w is superb though, and am looking forward to seeing it on the shelves with the rest of issue 12 attached [Smile]

Thanks guys! [Smile]

I can't give a definitive answer as to who is in the silhouettes for a month or two as I don't want to give anything away...and a GREAT deal happens in issues 10-12 so I don't want to ruin any surprises! [tease]

Yet more proof Barry's pencils/inks are just as good or better than the final colored version. I want this as a t-shirt!

I just wanted to add that this is further proof of Barry's talent-- that we can recognize his character designs from just their silhouettes and some random shadows!

The big complaint on team books has forever been only being able to recognize characters by their costumes and hair cut/color.

Just wanted to mention that. [Smile]

well is there something gonna happen to Dream Girl? I don't see her anywhere on the cover unless you can say that she took a haircut and would account her silhouette on the far left flying above Saturn Girl?

I think Dream Girl is behind the flag pole, facing Cham.

Excellent stuff!

You know, the quality of the b&w work makes me want to see a whole story in that format. Could make for an interesting backup tale at least.
