Great art: Amethyst by Jill Thompson & P. Craig Russell

The fine purveyors of the Fire & Water Podcast Network have long focused their attention on previous iterations of Who's Who. But this feature is most excited about their current project: the 1990-1992 super-pin up-friendly loose leaf edition. Today's art comes from the first issue. Jill Thompson and P. Craig Russell make a stupendous team as they bring the Princess of Gemworld to life. By this time, her history was probably too complicated for her to ever truly be a great character again (at least in that continuity) but the young Thompson and the always skilled Russell really knocked it out of the park on this piece.

Great art: Amethyst by Mike Maihack

I have an unrepentant love for Amethyst, whether in her original or New 52 incarnation. I still feel she's a character ripe with possibility. I once even wrote a Vertigo story about her, but never could get an editor to look at it. It's a great concept, but I have no idea how I would ever rework it as it was very specifically focused on Gemworld.

This image today is a bit lighter in fare, drawn by the always amazing Mike Maihack of Cleopatra in Space fame.
