This was a fun project. I had this great image of the Black Terror I found online, a WW2 era hero, and nothing was coming to me. As if Fate had intervened, a movie about the final hours of Hitler was shown on cable. I then remembered how DC ran some stories about how Golden Age mystery men lent themselves to the Allied front. I got think thinking... What if one of them actually got to Hitler? I spent a great deal of time looking up anti-Nazi/Hitler propaganda images on Google Image but nothing was working until I found the scanned newspaper page announcing Hitler's death. So I got that, but what else? I decided to do something slightly symbolic & spiritual. Hence the 4th Horsemen image to the Terror's right. I faded, alter the colors and textured the newspaper image, I darkened the Grim Reaper and sharpened up the Black Terror while fixing his colors a bit. I then used the Marquee tool to make the boxes on the top of the image you see. All in all, I think this is my best image to date.
