These nostalgic illustrations by talented artist Joshua Middleton focus on familiar comic book heroes and villains, like Poison Ivy and Wonder Woman. These awesome artworks capture these heroic figures in action, flying across the galaxy, fighting bad guys and dealing with hardships.
Middleton has actually been featured in DC and Marvel comics, but still takes an interest in these epic superheroes. In one of these illustrations, Batman is depicted tied up with vines and pinned to a tree as Poison Ivy teases him. One of the most interesting superhero pictures seen here shows Super Girl frantically flying towards Earth. Observers see her feet first (her face isn't visible in this picture). In another illustration, viewers see Super Girl's back, as she sits, shoulders hunched, on the floor in a hospital.
These classic comic character depictions remind DC and Marvel fans of their favorite Superheroes and villains.
