- Color transparency overlays for a Milestone Media company newsletter owned by Dwayne McDuffie. The overlay is made up of three plastic transparencies of different color taped to a blank, white piece of paper. Each overlay has the page illustration. The top overlay is black and outlines the drawing and adds the text of the newsletter. The second overlay is blue and black. The third overlay is red and yellow. When combined the overlays fill in the colors used on the page. The overlays are connected by a piece of adhesive tape. The layout of the page has [THE COMPANY LINE] logo at the top left. Text on the top right reads [MARCH MILESTONES]. A large image on the left side of the page features four comic book characters underneath the number [250]. The character on the right is Hardware. He is wearing a metal helmet and has his right fist extended outward. The character in the front is Rocket. She is wearing a helmet that does not cover her hair, jacket and gloves. She has both her fists raised. Behind her is the character Icon. He has a large cape fastened by a large ring on his chest. The right side of the drawing has an image of the comic book character, named Static. He is wearing a baseball cap, a mask, gloves and a jacket. His left fist is extended outward. Images from the comic books Static #45, Hardware #49 and Icon #43 are on the right side. The top overlay has several handwritten inscriptions concerning the layout of the page.
