I finally made it to the post office and mailed your art. Sorry about the delay—again. To make up for it, i threw a couple of extras in the package. I went through some boxes of old art and rejected pages and found two things that i thought only you might appreciate. One piece is my absolute last piece of Supreme related artwork: a loose pencil sketch of a bunch of villains for issues i never got to draw, which i was actually sketching when i got the call that Supreme was cancelled/Rob was going out of business. ... They’re not much, but i hope they go some way towards making up for taking so long to ship art out.
The villains are the Daxes from Supreme: The Return #2, that was ultimately drawn by Jim Starlin. Here's what Sprouse had to say about that drawing in an interview back in the early 2000s:
CBA: Did you get as far as #58?
Chris: Yes. I had gotten the script, which featured a whole legion of alternate Darius Dax characters, but Jim Starlin actually ended up drawing the issue, though I’d actually started to design the characters for that, and I think that’s what I was working on when Rob called and said it was over. I have no pages of actual finished work.
Brandon was nice enough to send a scan of the art to me:
Still, what a find! You can check out Brandon's new item (and some other amazing Sprouse pages) at his comicartfans page here.
