Card Arts #0

This is a new feature (replacing “My Custom Mods”) in which I talk a bit on how I selected artwork for feats and battlefield conditions that didn’t come with art, originally.

See, back in the early days of feats, both Marvel and DC cards bore art from the comics:

But ever since Icons, DC cards have been bare. That’s apparently because DC has a different license for reusing comic art that makes it more expensive compared with Marvel. Therefore, we’ve not seen actual art on DC cards.

Well, I decided years ago to, as a hobby, add artwork to scans of all the then-extant cards. The project languished for most of those years until, in a whirlwind of scanning and Google-mining, I completed it sometime last year and added the results to the Pix and Downloads page of Heroclixin’.

Enough intro. On with the feature!

Although I hate using this BFC, one that only hurts and rarely helps, the classic image from the classic 1988 Joker story “The Killing Joke” by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland was the obvious choice for this mad, mad card.
