Some kid2 #Art she's worked on recently after asking for a clear case for her phone.
Drawn on index cards cut a bit to fit and stored together in the case to switch out and display.
The #DCcomics #Nightwing one was from last week and the #Ghibli soot sprites from yesterday. That turned out great!

An argument could be made that every Golden Age or Silver Age #DCComics series will show its hoary old age in at least some way, when scrutinized today. Nevertheless, I believe Bob Kanigher's classic "Enemy Ace" chronicles hold up better than just about any other mainline DC material from any era, even now...excluding content related to Vertigo or other offshoot imprints.
Written in the first person, Mr. Kanigher's work is an extended character study of a fictional World War I pilot named Hans von Hammer. As the titular enemy ace, he proves himself to be, in my opinion, the best of all traditional "DC Universe" characters (er, a backhanded compliment? it's largely because this IP hasn't been over-exposed/rebooted/retconned, or otherwise badly fractured across decades).
Intriguingly, Hans von Hammer's adventures are quasi-existential. They reveal how he has the soul of a poet, often ruminating on "'the killer sky.'" Leading me to think he could have been almost a sage, if he hadn't been embroiled in war. In addition, the moderately downbeat stories include striking aerial artwork by Joe Kubert. Very good stuff, all around.
Will you go along with my choice? Or "Doom Patrol"? Or something else entirely?
