Description

I like how this is a very dynamic all-Byrne page featuring Superman and Spectre taking on Nazis. It also includes the classic phrase, "Faster than a speeding bullet!" If found it interesting how some of the structural linework in the first and last panel was computer generated, printed on acetate, and affixed to the page. Then Byrne did additional inking on top of the acetate. The lettering is also on acetate.

Cool Byrne page with a classic team up that goes back to WWII! An all Byrne production, this is as dense of art and writing we've ever seen from him!

Matthew, Byrne enjoyed using a 3D program (Strata 3D if I remember correctly) for this series, He would build models from scratch for all of the various high tech vehicles. He posted on byrnerobotics.com images of all the various batmobiles that he created just for Generations and they were impressive! He would print out all these images on a thin sheet of adhesive backed flim. On the ones I seen in person, you really have to look hard to see that they were even on the board. They were very unobtrusive and the film ages well! He was always pushing his art, these extra touches made the Generations series so darn cool!

As your page shows, he really captured the eras very well. Your page has great action and cool tech, all that you expect from a Byrne comic, your page rocks! Now excuse me as I look for my Generations comics. CONGRATS!!!

Steve-Thanks for providing the additional information on the page and the technique Byrne was using at the time. The film with the modeled art is still nearly invisible and I would not have noticed it if I hadn't gotten really close to the art to look at the fine detail. I think the Generations series is somewhat underrated and I recently picked up the Omnibus to enjoy it in its entirity.
