Description

Reconstruction of the iconic cover to Superman #1 (1939), one of the foundational images of the Golden Age of Comics. Executed in pen and ink using period-appropriate materials, with close attention to original proportions, typography, and compositional balance. Created as a faithful study of the published cover, preserving the simplicity and graphic clarity characteristic of early superhero imagery.
