Thanks to everyone who colored JJ's Superman piece over Labor Day weekend! It's great to see all of the different interpretations so far and to answer one question: This position is for an in-house colorist in the WildStorm Production department.

Thanks again!

Been coloring since I was 4. I've totally mastered the art of staying in the lines. You'll never find another person as good as me with a box of 64 Crayolas.

I don't know why I do this to myself! I should give up! I will never work for DC. I have been trying for years and never get a foot in the door! But it's my dream and I am 43 so I can't give up! The Hero Maker
