Since ending his run on Animal Man in 2012, artist Travel Foreman has released relatively limited comics work -- primarily covers and short stories -- largely because he remains focused on his long-gestating creator-owned project Zuerst. However, it turns out he nearly tackled another series for DC Comics, with his Animal Man collaborator Jeff Lemire.

On his blog, Foreman posted sketches created in preparation for Lemire's Justice League United title. That work ultimately never came to pass, but these sketches -- and the raw creativity shown by Foreman -- are certainly invigorating, if perhaps disappointing for fans who'd have enjoyed seeing the story arc materialize.

Foreman also posted several "unused" Suicide Squad illustrations for a line of DC Collectibles figures. See more on Foreman's blog.
