ASH Images - The First Heroic Age

As Coherent Super Stories moves forward, the stories will move backwards, looking into the First Heroic Age as well.

Ancient

At the moment, no "ancient" First Age art.

As with Second Age, I mined some older but still "modern" pieces for this era.

Gauntlet: This version was actually never given a personality, it was just another Champions powerset experiment. But I'm basing The Gauntlet in part on this design, so I figured I'd include it here. 8/2/88 (one of the last pieces I drew before going to college, could be considered at the border of "ancient" and "old").
Minuteman: Originally created for a pitch to a small press comic, he got revamped for inclusion in ASH. His new origin will appear in Coherent Super Stories #9. Inker in technical pen, colored with bad markers, digitally cleaned up a bit. 6/29/00.
Beacon: The star of the Beacon miniseries, as he was during the most four-color of his adventures. Coiled-spring leg braces and Light Lance at the ready! Inked in technical pen, colored in a mix of marker and pencil. 5/27/93.

Stuff drawn recently, either by me or by other ASH creators.

Lady Lawful I: Same image as seen in the Second Age gallery, she kept essentially the same look through her career. This is a City of Heroes character image, by Andy Burton.
Johnny Angel - Design sketch. Character referenced in Beacon #4. Became Hellbound in the Third Age, but my drawing of him is so lazy and bad-for-the-time I'm not scanning it. Sketch done 9/13/07.
The Gauntlet - Design sketch. My fourth or fifth re-imagining of the basic concept, taking the color scheme of the 1988 version (an a later 1992 version) and merging it with Beacon's armor. There is a reason his armor is a lot like Beacon's.... Sketch done 9/13/07.
Centurion - Design sketch. Note, there was a Centurion in the Third Age, but he had no connection to the First Age version, so I'm not including him in the Old Art section above. Sketch done 9/13/07.
The Freedom Alliance - The premiere team of mysterymen during the First Heroic Age! Done in the style of the Invaders comic art in the 1970s (pseudo-Kirby, such as Frank Robbins), with deliberately flat coloring. Inks only. 9/15/07.
Red Widow - A very minor mysterywoman active for about three months in 1944. No powers, just rope tricks, a pistol and some athletic prowess. 10/21/07.
