Beauts all…
Y’know, you get busy and you don’t always catch what’s right in front of you. Great example? Acclaimed Starman artist Tony Harris’ new/recent Justice Society of America variant covers, which are finally set to be released.
Our pal and dedicated 13th Dimension reader Bill DeSimone gave me a nice, gentle elbow to the ribs and said — and I’m very broadly paraphrasing here — “Dude, Tony Harris’ JSA covers are awesome. You should do something on them.”
And he’s right. There are three that have seen the light of day — sort of, because Justice Society has been beset by all sorts of delays. Anyway, here’s the latest:
—
Justice Society of America #8 by Geoff Johns and Mikel Janin, due in stores Dec. 26, 2023:
—
Justice Society of America #9 by Johns and Janin, due in stores Jan. 30, 2024:
—
Justice Society of America #10 by Johns and Janin, due in stores March 12, 2024:
The only thing with that last one is that it was solicited as the Issue #10 variant, but the original listing was cancelled. The new listing says there’s a Harris cover but it doesn’t show an image. I’m assuming they’re still going with this one, but we’ll see. I still wanted to show it, either way.
Anyway, word around the Brownstone is that Harris and writer James Robinson may reunite for a 30th anniversary Starman project. Nothing firm, just hints. But if you want to see such a thing — and why wouldn’t you? — join Bill’s Facebook group The Jack Knight Starman Fan Page and lend your support. Bill’s got his ear and Cosmic Staff planted firmly to the ground — and stars.

Very nice. Love the rotoscope effect. Looks like a big Art Nouveau influence.

Tony Harris’s artwork really shines on these variant covers.
