Jackson 'Butch' Guice pencils/Denis Rodier inks; model sheet illustration; 1993; image size 16.5" x 10.75"Following on the heels of the Death of Superman and Funeral for a Friend storylines, the Reign of the Supermen introduced four new characters, all looking to take up the mantle of the Man of Steel. The Eradicator, born of an alien who's consciousness was melded with a scan of Superman's body and saw himself as the hero reborn. This model sheet, created by Guice and Rodier and dated on the reverse 6/29/1993 (less than two months after the release of Action Comics #687 where the character made his debut) features three images of the hero, likely created for other artists to follow as well as for potential marketing and promotional purposes. Pen and ink. Art is in excellent condition. Signed by Guice.

In 1986, Denis Rodier began a career as an illustrator which would transform him, two years later, into a comic book artist. Among his first work for DC Comics was a Batman story published as a Bonus Book in Detective Comics #589 (August 1988). Rodier has worked on such world-famous characters as Batman, Captain America and Wonder Woman. It was his work on Superman that garnered Rodier his greatest acclaim, especially on the award-winning "The Death of Superman" story arc.
Working his way up through the ranks at Marvel, starting with spot work on the Micronauts, Guice built up his reputation by illustrating a variety of X-Men related titles and other various b-level comics, he then worked on Badger at First Comics before continuing on to DC where he would collaborate with Mike Baron on several titles like Teen Titans and Flash. The 90s would find him working at DC on Action Comics and also the popular "Death of Superman" arc, he also worked on Eternal Warrior for Valiant. After the turn of the century Guice bounced back and forth between Marvel and DC working on titles like Birds of Prey and Iron Man.
