Description

Confession time - I was missing the interiors !

While I've been trying to "upgrade" my collection and focus mainly
on covers and pinups I almost stopped chasing interior art.

However, in this art form, the true magic lies in the sequential storytelling
and the perfect combination between written words and illustrated images.

So now interiors are back in my collection with a vengeance !

This nice two page scene really grabbed me years ago, when I originally bought
this SECRET FILES issue.

Story wise, it concluded yet another retelling of Superman's origin,
but this time with a twist - as revealed here, the entire overview of Superman's career
was actually told from Batman's POV, who was trying to figure out why he
and Superman seemed so different.

The scene also serves as an epilogue to the overreaching Superman/Batman
post-crisis rivalry arc which was mainly told in the Dark Knight Over Metropolis.

This 'happy ending' renewed the friendship between the two and made me smile.

On the art front, I couldn't ask for a better art team to handle the World's Finest;
Jerry Ordway brought a darker edge to Dan Jurgens pencils, very fitting to the
subject matter. The expressions as well as the textures they put on paper are
truly amazing to behold !

Please take a look at the 'additional images' for some closeups, and please see
my other post for the previous page.

As always, comments are welcome and appreciated !
