ACTION COMICS No.40 Comparisonby *JoeJusko

Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Comics / Mixed Media

For those of you who have asked for a comparison shot........

Nnte; I KNOW the tanks are a mix of Russian and German. It's a COMIC BOOK cover! And if history serves, the Germans DID fight the Russians in WWII (rather poorly, too).

I really have to take exception with the remarks to the effect that Jusko's interpretation is superior to the original, except in so far as it caters more to modern taste. While agreeing about the quality of Jusko's interpretation I prefer the ease with which the devil-may-care Superman of the original dispatches the tank. That is the essence of the Golden-age Superman.

About being called on "errors" by the "experts"; more grace, less defensiveness. I like what a mystery writer--I forget who-- once wrote about this. His view was do all the research you want, there is one expert out there who will catch you in an error. Count on it. Thank him for the correction and move on.

Thanks for the sagely wisdom, but if you were familiar with me or my work for any period of time you'd be able to discern defensiveness from tongue in cheek humor, as everyone else has.

Is this supposed to be more humor? Still can't discern it.

You can tell the original artist used a model posing in a classic body building pose. This is not to say I don't appreciate the original art, but your drawing is so much more dynamic and fluid.

The crumpled effect on the tank as it responds to the massive punch, the body language and follow thru of Super Man's punch and the clarity of details.

Of course, the original artist did not have the printing technology that we have today, so the amount of detail in your version would have been lost to a large degree given the old printing methods (which I learned in high school in 1985...).

The softness of light to dark on the farthest away tank really shows your skill as well.
