DescriptionThis stunning original splash page published in World of Smallville #2 back in 1988 featuring a masterful image of Superman, is a real gem. Pencilled by Silver Age legend Kurt Schaffenberger and inked by the Filipino inking maestro Alfredo Alcala, this page beautifully showcases the fusion of classic artistry and atmospheric inking. The artwork features a striking and iconic portrayal of Superman, seated on the moon in a contemplative pose, an homage to Rodin’s famous sculpture The Thinker. This introspective moment captures the hero in a rare, vulnerable state, offering a take on the Man of Steel we don't often see.Schaffenberger’s clean, expressive pencils are elevated by Alcala's detailed and atmospheric inks, which bring a depth and mood to the page that only Alcala’s legendary inking technique can provide. The level of detail and careful composition make this splash page an exceptional piece of comic art. Superman’s contemplative pose and the quiet solitude of the moon create an emotional weight that contrasts sharply with his usual bold and heroic demeanor. Superman art collectors should consider this page not only for its visual appeal but also for the historical significance of the creators involved. Schaffenberger was a key artist during the Silver Age, known for his contributions to Superman’s legacy, and Alcala’s inks are widely regarded, certainly by myself, as some of the finest in the comic industry, especially when it comes to creating mood and atmosphere. This splash page represents an opportunity to own a piece of Silver Age-inspired Superman art, with a striking homage to one of the most famous sculptures in art history. A true standout for any serious Superman art collection, this piece offers a combination of classic character portrayal and exceptional craftsmanship from two of the industry’s greats!
