Which Hulk Do You See?

Here's one big crazy fight scene between the heroes of the Marvel universe. There's so many people involved, and so much going on, that it's all a little too much to parse in Black & White. Obviously, you can tell the mutant Cyclops is giving Captain America a hard time, but everything else takes some work to figure out.

With the colored version, Justin's coloring makes it easier to distinguish what's happening in the background. Look, there's Wolverine, and Namor, and Hawkeye, and of course Spider-Man, some other characters I could guess at, and might even guess right. But would I have guessed that the character in the center background was the Red Hulk? Not our beloved green Hulk, Bruce Banner, but the former General Ross who relentlessly pursued Dr. Bruce Banner in the comics and movies?

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't have.

Luke Skywalker in Black & White and Color

Here's a page from Marvel's Star Wars series that Justin received after the story was written, and the penciling and inking were finished. The imagery is really well done, and the artwork communicates the fight clearly. But where would you begin to color it, and how much would you add?

Justin's colors give the story depth and realism. Many colorists just give a basic coloring to each little portion of an image, and let the mind fill in the rest. Justin's colors make the artwork seem like movie stills. They truly communicate all the dynamism that underlies the Star Wars franchise, and made those stories resonate so powerfully with people like Justin and me.
