THE OVER THE HILL GANG

Over on Twitter, the brilliant Kevin Maguire shared this amazing piece of art:  his vision of what our JLI would look like today (y'know, if comic book characters aged in real time).


And I can't help thinking he found his inspiration in this photo my wife took at DragonCon back in 2019...


To which I can only add:  "Bwah-ha-ha!"

  1. Well, hopefully someone thanked hum for making the ageless heroes look older than the three in the bottom picture.

    I have to say, there are a lot of good details. Ice, being a goddess, did not age. J'onn, aging slower than humans, is still about the same age...just fatter. The chocos no doubt

    I do have to call one thing into question, I feel that Booster would probably have some futurisitc age-denier that keeps you forever young, made from venutian lizard gallbladders, .that he made a fortune off. A fortune spent only selling it to Fire.

    It is almost good enough to get past the realization that the JLI finale series at the old folks home, will never happen.

    1. We actually pitched a story like this some years back but it never materialized. But Kevin's drawing is almost a story in itself.
