Lost Pages: Talent Showcase No. 19

As the story goes, Darwyn Cooke was first published by DC Comics in August of 1985 and then left the industry for a career in advertising and animation.  Of course, he came roaring back in the new millennium and found critical acclaim with Batman: Ego but for fifteen years we were left with a scant five pages from DC’s Talent Showcase #19.  As part of our new feature Lost Pages (and until some lawyer tells us to knock it off) we’ll be showcasing some of Darwyn’s back-catalogue for those who may not have ever seen it.  So check it out! Darwyn Cooke’s first foray into comics with Talent Showcase #19. Can you tell it’s him?
