@TheGrimScreen There's a couple cover illustrations that are broadly considered to depict Quartz, but neither quite meet the description in the books (as outlined here: https://t.co/kzhfjK6V6q ), so I tried to split the difference.

This is one of the macros I'm shooting for with my own work - depicting classic, vintage, or just plain OLD concepts in a way that not only feels fresh, but provides a modern audience a way to understand their original merits

🔥LAVENDER JACK🔥 Lord Mayor Gall is a career politician trying to win a war; his second-in-command is Lady Hawthorne, a literal archvillain who once held the entire CITY under her heel... but yeah, Gall's in charge. He really is. Yours free on @webtoonofficial! Link below ~

Peeve talk: I'm very done with this type of joke - the post-Whedon lampshade quip. You and I know fighting crime in a costume isn't real-world normal, that's a given, but it IS normal in their world. Like, Gordon's standing next to a literal Bat Signal, he's onboard with this

All I'm saying is it pays off to dig a little deeper into how a character with a full internal life would actually see the world they're in, if only so that I can read a single cape comic that doesn't tell this exact joke
