13 COVERS saluting the artist, who has died at the age of 63…
I first discovered Jackson “Butch” Guice’s art on the 1980s post-Crisis Flash series that put Wally West on the road to becoming one of DC’s most popular heroes.
But, as you are almost certainly aware, Guice — who has died at the far-too-young age of 63 — had an even more productive relationship with Marvel (not to mention other publishers).
So in honor of his career that went from the Bronze Age to well into the 21st century, we are presenting two 13 COVERS galleries — one DC (below) and one Marvel (click here).
Our condolences to the Guice family.

I’m so sad to hear this. I just recently read the Omnibus of the 1987 Flash series, my first time reading it since it was originally released when I was a teenager. It was very…uneven. But my criticisms of the work do not include Guice’s artwork, which I thought was really terrific, much better than I remember it being. Seeing it again with fresh eyes, I kinda wish he had drawn the series for another year or more. Condolences to his family.

I would included “Action Comics #700”: it’s not just a milestone, was designed like one of those 70’s posters from the disaster movies from Irwin Allen. Even was digitally collored and repurposed as a comic book store ad for the event.

To me, Guice was one of THE touchstones for my era of Superman! He got to contribute to some milestone stories, and I really dug his artwork! My sincere sympathies are with his friends and family.
