Alright! I was thinking about something yesterday (the Lois "Black Like Me" issue) and realized that I had written a Supermanica article on it like 20 years ago.

[full-size version]

Up until today, this wallpaper has only been available in the 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 sizes.

I recently had all the material from the crashed K-Metal drive - including the artwork masters - recovered;  so here is the  full-size version of this classic wallpaper in  ultra hi-def 2681x2011

This brand new wallpaper size incorporates the original, full size artwork as created by Angel and Sarge in all its gorgeous sharp  and crisp detail; and also maintains the 4:3 aspect ratio of the 2007 versions.

[the domain name]

First step: we have the domain name

Next step: upgrade the Supermanica wiki and move it there!  (To be done...)

I'm told that the server has been tightened up a bit; so I've re-opened the forum - hopefully things will be bit smoother this time around!

["a SUPERMAN"]

Fixed it! Back to the original "a SUPERMAN"  
 


and the new version of page 2 is online, although you may have to reload the page and/or clear your image cache (which I find very convoluted to do on modern devices) to see it.

What baffles me about this panel (and the whole page, in fact) is that Angel laid it out the same as the original artwork, before the original artwork had even been discovered!

[Afterword]

Two more recent additions:

Angel Criado's Afterword to The Reign of the Super-man;

Added Joe Shuster's illustration of Hugo Danner to the Gladiator page (at the very bottom); the picture is of the closing scene and was created to accompany Jerry Siegel's review of the book. As far as I can tell, this is a new discovery.

[Science Fiction: The Advance Guard of Future Civilization]

Loosely related to K-Metal; and also ties-in with the rest of Superman Through the Ages!; I have started a page on -

Science Fiction: The Advance Guard of Future Civilization

the plan being to transcribe what I can find from the Jerry Siegel/Joe Shuster high school fanzine.

[Reign of the Super-Man]

The online version of Angel Criado's illustrated Reign of the Super-Man is complete (all four chapters of the original story); although I do plan to post clearer, sharper versions of the uploaded pages in the near future;

Still to come - the exclusive bonus epilogue!

Expanded the K-Metal timeline with some new information on Gladiator and Copper-Clad World.

Slight redesign and new banner on the main trilogy pages.

Obtained the new project domain name: k-metal.com

[Two]

Just a quick update that Chapters Two and Three have been added; along with the Introduction.





More to come!
