Even Alex Ross'
young Superman action figure looks old. His
Flash figure, oddly enough, reminds me of Darwyn Cooke's rendition of Flash in
New Frontier. I say "oddly enough" because it's hard to imagine two more dissimilar artists in comics -- Ross is on the far edge of photorealism (most of the time, anyway; his cover of Marvel's 9/11 benefit book
HEROES was much looser than most of his other work), while Cooke is, if possible, even more stylized and stripped down than Bruce Timm's "animated" style of drawing.
