Superman Vs the Hulk

Thursday, March 8, 2012

Comments Off

These animations by Michael Habjan are quite amazing, especially considering they are fan videos, the animation created in spare time over months (and the original model work for the characters taking even longer before that), creating a fan-pleasing depiction of a slug-fest between two of the most powerful beings in comics – the not so [...]

DC 52 – time for those all important issue 2s…

Monday, October 10, 2011

Comments Off

A whole bunch of us have been enjoying (or sometimes regretting, but mostly enjoying) the huge DC New 52 relaunch of the main DC universe, and we posted up our thoughts on a huge swathe of those first issues throughout September. But there is one vitally important question, which Richard asked of the reviewers last [...]

Superman #1 By George Perez and Jesus Merino So, we’re in the New DC Universe. Morrison and Morales have given us something fresh and new in Action Comics, Superboy is a lab specimen at present in his title, Supergirl has been doing the fighty thing in Siberia and Superman in his titular comic is…. well, pretty much [...]

Colleen Coover’s very, very unofficial DC Comics….

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

Colleen Coover has put up a second of her very “Unofficial,Unsanctioned Unsolicited. Done for fun“ strips. This time it’s Lana Lang, Superman’s ex-girlfriend: But before that it was a brilliant Batman: You know, somewhere, in some alternate universe…. these would be official books. That would be so great.

Let us massage your eyeballs with some glorious Bren McCarthy art…

Thursday, April 28, 2011

Brendan McCarthy kindly shares some gorgeous artwork with us, including Imaginary Story (as if they aren’t all imaginary, as Brendan commented) set in the Silver Age of Superman (above) and U-Babe 3, a  “great underwater adventure!” (below): But much as I enjoyed these I have to say I think this one is the piece de [...]

The adventures of SuperM

Monday, April 11, 2011

Comments Off

This short Superman spoof from Arunas Eimulis is brief but funny and I love the deliberately awful vintage style, inspired, so it says, by the”Turkish trash movies of the 70s”, a fun way to start the working week: Super M adventures part I – Graffiti vandals from Arunas Eimulis on Vimeo.

“Do you really think the families of Superman’s creators should be treated this way?”

Saturday, April 2, 2011

Comments Off

(Joanne Siegel in the 1940s and in a Joe Shuster sketch looking very Lois Lane) This has been all over the comic Internet last week, but I couldn’t not at least mention it. Less than two months ago, on February 12th 2011, Joanne Siegel died at age 93. She was the widow of Superman co-creator [...]

Super peanut butter

Monday, January 17, 2011

Comments Off

Sean Kleefeld points us to this wonderfully rubbish old TV commerical (what is it, 70s?) for “Superman brand Peanut Butter”. Not what you’d call a subtle form of advertising to modern eyes and Sean’s right, that has to be one of the lamest flying-off attempts anyone’s ever done with the Man of Steel! I do [...]

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… a whole page of Walt Simonson art

Tuesday, October 12, 2010

I didn’t know there was a whole page of sketches by the great Walter Simonson on Facebook until Dave Gibbons tweeted it. A whole page of pencil and ink drawings to enjoy, go and look. (Superman flying, a brush and ink sketch by Walter Simonson, based on a pose he did for Superman #666; Superman [...]

On his honeymoon with Lois, Superman begins to get the feeling that perhaps it isn’t all going as well as he might wish for… That tickles me just right… Link via GFest, sadly artist name not mentioned

The Adventures of Tiny Superman

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s … a 5 inch action figure… Adventures of Tiny Superman was the winner of a fan film competition at the 2010 Superman celebration according to the description. I hadn’t come across it before, but it’s a great example of innovation and sense of fun overcoming those pesky obstacles [...]
