BWS has a long-standing policy not to do commissions, including frequently
requested
cover recreations. But a few years ago, Windsor Smith was inspired on
his own to reconsider a very few of his classic covers. Unlike the rote,
usually lifeless recreations often done by other comics artists, BWS
took the opportunity to make improvements, and to imbue the new works
with as much or more energy than the initial versions.

This
reconsideration original is twice-up, significantly larger than the
previous version. All logos are drawn
in ink on the board, not pasted on. BWS reconsidered fewer than half
a dozen covers in all, and no more than one of each cover will ever
be
done,
assuring
the rarity of this original.
