This is from the stock art book DC gives out, with a brief rundown of what a merchandiser is about to see.
I'm happy that Aquaman is included in this first group shot, and I have to say I find Dr. Fate, Firestorm, and Martian Manhunter surprising inclusions. I'm sure whoever composed this had to work with the stock poses already done, so that had something to do with it(poses needing to be facing left, etc.), but I really would've thought you'd see Supergirl, Batgirl, and/or especially Robin ahead of those other guys!

Every single one of those characters was in the Super Powers line. Just thinkin' out loud...
I thought the same thing Frank. I this the current "classic/retro" style guide? If not I'd guess it was from the 1985 version, when the second series of Super Powers hit with Fate, Firestorm, J'onn, etc. The only ones missing are Red Tornado and Green Arrow (and Robin from series 1).

Never mind, I see that this is ineed from a current style guide. It would help if I would read it first...
Sigh.

I *love* the stock art. I saw a style guide on eBay once, but I didn't have the $200 to buy it (or the ability to convince my wife that it was a sound purchase). Thanks for posting it!
Man....that art is just so beautiful. Why don't we get art like that anymore? It's just so clean and heroic! That's not to say that I don't love some of the things that modern comic art has going for it, but I'd love to see more like this.
I'd love to see those Garcia-Lopez origin stories for Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
