DescriptionConfession 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 following page. As always, comments are welcome and appreciated ! Social/Sharing |

Never a big fan of the "Electric Superman" story, but can't beat the art on these pages. These two guys did some great work, together and individually, on the Superman titles. Wish they did more art today.

I agree. I like good pinups, but a great page is magic.
