UPDATE To This Story Below .
Legendary creative person Alex Ross ( Kingdom Come)is call off out theDC UniverseshowStargirlfor using HOMAGES of his work without proper credit entry . On his Twitter business relationship , Rosstweeted out side - by - side comparisonsof the Justice Society of America banners used in the show as well as his own fine art , which understandably inspired the work .
It ’s extremely unknown to see DC Comics not right mention Ross for his work . Ross did a handful of magnificent covering fire ( and casual interiors ) for theJustice Society of America(2006 ) by Geoff Johns and Dale Eaglesham . The serial have older phallus of the original JSA teaming - up with the next wave of heroes including Cyclone , Citizen Steel , and Wildcat . The series ( along with Johns previous JSA work ) has served as inspiration for theStargirlTV series . It ’s fairly exculpated Ross has a decent case against his cover version being homaged on the show .

On Twitter , Ross shared his covers from theJustice Society of America , alongside banners that appeared in the first episode ofStargirl . The banner homages are clearly inspired by Ross ' work , as poses from the Flash , Green Lantern , and Hourman are on the button the same as the one ’s from his covers . Meanwhile , Doctor Fate and Wildcat are also clearly enliven by Ross ' take on the longtime DC Comics character reference .
Not crediting Ross is bizarre , specially considering the showrunner ofStargirlis Johns , who collaborated with the vet creative person on their stellarJustice Society of Americaseries . There ’s no question the banner images are homages of Ross ' cover , which is o.k. , as long as they ’re decently credited - which they do n’t seem to be . The streamer are intended to be easter eggs for the previous generation of the Justice Society of America , but while they ’re well - done and clearly diversion , they in all likelihood need to be by rights credit in some way because Ross was subservient in the design and original images .
DC Comics and DC Universe would be wise to settle the issue immediately . Ross merit credit for the trope and the rather he find it , the immediate multitude will blank out about the misunderstanding . Stargirlhas proven to be a great adaptation and has contribute a new teenaged audience to the JSA , but if the show is live to drop Ross ' great covering while swiping them , that sends a fairly bad message . Hopefully , the citation progeny is rectified as soon as possible and Ross can get the much - deserved deferred payment .
Update : Sources tells Screen Rant that the team who did the banners for Stargirl based them on Ross ' work but the new images are all photographs and Ross ' art was not used in the show . The side - by - side comparisons of the photograph epitome were also previously watermarked but Ross posted them ( with a watermark cropped out ) on his own page .
