From Simonson's Facebook page at the time the drawing was created...
"Because of the nature of the drawing request, a revisiting of my very first drawing of Beta Ray Bill, done for a promotional poster, I decided to ink this drawing with a crow quill pen instead of a brush.
I also opted to erase the drawing cleanly rather than leaving some of the pencil behind."
Artist Information
Walt Simonson is a hugely influential writer/artist who rose to prominence at DC in the 1970's on various War titles and The Metal Men, it was his work on the Detective Comics back-up feature Manhunter with Archie Goodwin that made readers take notice. He would go on to Marvel where he would draw the X-Men/New Teen Titans crossover and have a groundbreaking run on Thor that is considered one of the finest in the long history of the title. He would go on to work on X-Factor, Fantastic Four, and a host of other titles. His own creation, The Star Slammers is a series he has returned to periodically throughout his career, most recently with IDW.
