You were robbed.� Newton won his own painting and it was his to do with it what he wanted. Those judges could have excluded the professional nature of his costume and gave him a special jury award.� I bet the judges were Moe, Curly Joe, and Larry.�

I appreciate you saying that, but I ended up with a really great piece that I am proud to own. There's a couple of more things that you might find interesting... first, I heard that some years later, Kirk Alyn ended up selling that painting. I can't remember who I heard purchased it, but I wish I had known that it ws up for sale so that I could have made a bid for it. Under the circumstances, it would have been great to own. Also, I was able to eventually purchase one of the Superman oil paintings that Don did (he did about 3 I think with slight variations). One was used as the cover for an issue of Rockets Blast/Comic Collector, but I don't think that mine was that version. Actually, I don't have a clue if it is or not, but it doesn't matter as I still love it regardless of whether or not it was ever published. All that being said, I would still like to have the Kirk Alyn version of Don's Superman painting just because of my connection to it. Thanks so much for your comment!

What a great cover! �Is it really that yellow?

Actually, I had some bad lighting when I took the first pic so it did have a yellow tint to it. I just updated the post with one that is more accurate.

You are so right. Thanks for the catch. That's what happens when I "copy and paste" without paying better attention to the details.

I don't remember this one but WOW! what a great cover!

I had the same reaction when I first saw this original too. I had the issue number from the cover art, but when I went to find it, I actually overlooked it at first because the printed cover is so different. If you get a chance, look at the final version and you'll see what I mean. The original shown here is so much better than what was actually published.
