Description

This is the Superman daily strip from February 8, 1949, an excellent Daily Planet page by Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye, the team that also did the signature Superman comic book stories from about that time to 1961. This is from �The Super Elixir� storyline that ran from Dec. 27, 1948 to Feb. 26, 1949. As published, it actually carried the credit �Drawn By Wayne Boring�, even after Boring turned the dailies over to Win Mortimer by July 26, 1949. It�s rare for a for-hire artist to get that kind of credit. Usually, the creators are credited long after they stop drawing the strip. Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster had their great falling out with DC and were dropped from the creator credits on July 24, 1948. Wayne was a convenient name to put in their place

This period right after the Siegel and Schuster exile was possibly the most under-appreciated era in Superman�s history. It was a fresh, creative period that has been mostly forgotten and rarely reprinted. It wouldn�t surprise me to find out that none of the original art from the comics of that period survive. The background characters are trademark Boring/Kaye as is the lantern-jawed Clark Kent.

I gather Superman has built a robot to pose as either Superman or Clark Kent in the wrestling match. It seems Wayne hadn�t yet mastered drawing attractive women yet, but those 1940�s suits look sharp.
