After GL 36, before GL 44

In the early 90s Paul Kupperberg wrote for the little lamented Impact Comics, DC's line for the Archie superheroes. Characters like the Fly, the Black Hood and Steel Sterling. On his blog he's got some pencils from a Steel Sterling backup feature.

This is some of my earliest stuff, and it's even rougher than my Green Lantern work. I did it after my first published work, Green Lantern 36, and before Green Lantern 44.

I was still trying to find my style at this point. I was mixing Barry Windsor Smith with JC Leyendecker (the hatching/shading was supposed to evoke the dark gaps between Leyendecker's pale brushstrokes). It was kinda cluttered. I was dazzlingly fast with backgrounds and perspective back then. I miss that!
