Prince Hal - I was just re-reading that issue in my "Batman in the Fifties" collection. My favorite part is the "mobile crime lab" in the back section which is basically a desk! Ironic. As I type this, I happen to be sitting at my own mobile crime-lab. Well, it will be mobile once I load it into the back of my pick-up.  |

This week it's two all-time classic Superman artists. Do you choose the barrel-chested early era Superman, or the gentleman who followed and became the defining look for decades until DC unceremoniously gave him his "swan song"? I present, the two titans of classic Superman art: Wayne Boring vs. Curt Swan

Never the biggest fan of either, but if you put my feet the fire, I guess I'd say Swan.

Swan--Few artists are better at drawing realistic urban settings, people, expressions. I like Boring a lot more now than in the past, but there are still times when he comes off as very clunky.
(Julie Schwartz said that Weisinger was waiting for an excuse to replace Boring with Swan as the regular artist on Superman. Boring was late one on one deadline and BAM! He's out, Curt's in.)

This is a tough one for me, they had such defining runs throughout the years. I had a copy of "Superman From the 30's to the 80's" I got as a kid and those earlier Boring drawn stories are some of my favorites. But Swan was "my" Superman artist growing up and I'd have to say likewise so many favorites from his time as well.
I also have some collections of Boring's work on the Sunday newspaper strips, those were a treat to discover. Plus a book that's a retrospective on Swan's art and man, seeing some of his raw pencil renderings, the man could seriously draw!
I love old school Superman best, the fun, sheer heroism, and overall storytelling was just the best to me back then.
