And a comparison of all 3 side-by-side:

The original scanned is still by far the better of the three (in terms of image quality), but since image quality won't matter when it's shrunk, the one on the far right is the best IMHO.

Nice cleaning job Hiby! You'll have to tell me how to do that, though I don't know if it's possible with GIMP.

Yeah, the first pic is better for the shrunken banners and I'll have to agree with Brad that the eyes are beautiful even if it was FX. I like how your rendition maintains the individual hair style.
