I'm making my first attempt at a repro Green Lantern backer card and have been having trouble finding Green Lantern artwork to use. All the scans I seem to find on the web are too small.
Any ideas?

You if you can't find suitable artwork because it's too small, you could always re-draw it.
There are many ways to do this. I would probably just make the image as large as I could, print it out, then trace the main details. The smaller, finer details I would probably just fill in the blanks. All the artwork would just be black and white inkwork which I would just color on the computer.
You could also do the same thing entirely on Photoshop.
Some on here might also be able to get you scans of their GL comics with the image you want to use. Post the image that you would like to use and tell us where it came from and we might be able to help you out. -
Let me know what version you are going for and I'll shoot you some scans if you like I have a nice collection of GL images.No body takes pot shots at Lubic!

Isn't there a GL piece of clip art that was possibly going to be the Mego box art?You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

^ That's the pic that was on lots of DC merchandise in the 70s I believe, including the Slurpee cups...Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

If all you need is the face (for the circle) I can send that to you from this art. But I no longer have the full figure art that would be needed for the back.

Chad's donated some more card art to custom mego that I haven't had the time to upload to the site yet. In there is a GL card made to look like the standard Mego WGSH card.

Where would that card art be located on the site when you upload it?"I feel bad for people that don't drink. When they get up in the morning, that's as good as they are going to feel all day." - Sinatra-Comment
