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.
