Description

The Man of Steel, Mid-Transformation, by Paul Smith. The level of detail in this picture is staggering. My favorite elements are the fedora and glasses.

Update: Gerry Turnbull colored my sketch beautifully and I want to share it with the wider Comic Art Fans community. The colored piece evokes memories of the Curt Swan era -- which is the highest praise I can offer. Thanks, Gerry!

Hell yeah! I love the cut of his suit - it looks like the old Chris Reeves Superman, with those shoulder pads and suspenders! Clark's expression rocks too- so determined. You got a great deal on this one, congrats!

One of my favorites of your collection. I love Clark's fierce face, the hat, and the glasses.

Thank you, Kent!  Paul Smith is one of those artists who can make a character look classic and modern at the same time.
