Superman/Gorilla Grodd prelim for trading card art on Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-art-Jerry-Ordway-prelim-Superman-Grodd-/260781616402?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb7cbad12#ht_500wt_1156

This is the sketch done for the art director at DC handling the Upper Deck "VS" series, and shows how to pack a lot of content into something that was printed a little larger than a postage stamp:) Below is the finished line art. Note that with something like this, you often have to "over-sell" the idea. Superman now has a bag of money in one hand, to help sell that he is robbing the bank, not just stealing a vault, while under Grodd's mind-control. Be careful around intelligent apes, I always say!
