Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The elegant artwork of Curt Swan (1920-1996) defined the look of Superman for over 30 years. His amazing skills of storytelling, draftsmanship, and design brought a realism and sense of wonder to The Man of Steel's adventures, making them the best-selling comic books of their day. Filled with iconic and previously unseen artwork, this fascinating biography traces the artist's career from the beginning on features like "Gangbusters" to his widespread regard as the Dean of American comics and, later, his frustrations with an industry that viewed his dignified work as unfashionable. Fascinating one-on-one interviews with Curt Swan's family members as well as comics legends Joe Kubert, Carmine Infantino, Murphy Anderson, and dozens more paint a portrait of the artist as elegant as the artist's work itself.

Some of the people who share their recollections are Alan Moore, the late Julius Schwartz, Roger Stern, and members of Curts family. There are also many illustrations throughout the book, including an excellent colour section with two page spreads that highlight his work ... Read More
