You said the second set only consists of 72 cards but the blue devil card shown is #81. I’ve also saw a black Canary card that was #91 I think. Do you know if there was a third series? I’ve been trying to figure out exactly how many there were but I’m not having any luck. Any additional information you have would be helpful. Thanks! Ryan

I have never seen these, but they’re absolutely awesome, I now must track these down!

Matthew – Thanks for the comment. Sorry for any confusion. When I said Denys Cowan and Dick Giordano, I was speaking specifically about the Firestorm art. That Firestorm stock art has been reproduced tons of times, yet we’ve never definitely identified the artists. Yes, many of those other cards are Jose Luis Garcia Lopez (Praised Be His Name). Thanks again!

I remember those! I don’t remember when or where I got them, but I did have a few of these. Thanks for jogging the old memory Shag!

Hmmm…some of those definitely look more like Garcia Lopez art to me.
I had never heard of these either…sadly, getting for a complete setlooks to be pricey!
