I first caught up with artist Ant Lucia at last year’s Planet Comicon and saw him again at this weekend’s show with a booth full of incredible full-color prints.  In a matter of minutes he sketched for a fan one of the beautiful bombshell gals he has become known for worldwide over the past year.  Lucia’s work is unique, taking classic DC Comics characters and retro-designing them with a distinct 1940s/World War II poster style.

You can buy prints, shirts, and stickers featuring the images at Lucia’s website.  And toy collectors can get his character designs in large-sized figurines.  If you’re missing any, contact Elite Comics to place an order.

DC Comics is going all out this June with Lucia’s work, with variant covers for twenty June monthlies.  You’ll find Lucia’s prints on special variant covers of Action Comics, Aquaman, Batgirl, Batman, Batman and Ra’s al Ghul, Batman/Superman, Batwoman, Catwoman, Detective Comics, The Flash, Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps, Harley Quinn, Justice League, Justice League Dark, Justice League United, Red Hood and the Outlaws, Superman, Superman/Wonder Woman, and Wonder Woman.

Above are a first look at the first three released cover images for the June release, from Wonder Woman Issue #32, Catwoman Issue #32, and Detective Comics Issue #32.  This will definitely be one of the best DC Comics theme events for 2014.
