Jason Holley, the illustrator, was commissioned and given the direction of a kid or group of kids dressed up in homemade super-hero outfits. What came back were five great paintings. Three of these made the package. As you can see, typical of painters, his interpretation was a little different. But hey, isn’t that what we pay them for? The rest of the design was influenced by antique cigar packaging.
