more importantly, he also drew a very sexy Lois Lane, as evidenced by a Superman/Adam Strange team-up he illustrated once.
Anyone who could make Lois look sexy back in those days when she wore a Moe Howard haircut is by definition a master artist. Scratch that, a magician.
But while Supes wasted his time on Lois, I'd have been moving in on Dr Klyburn. Rowrrr!
Some of my favorite art jobs on Superman were done by guys who just worked on the books once or twice, so I don't know if they belong on this list or not, but here goes:
- Joe Kubert (a chapter in JLA #200 and a great team-up with the Demon in DCCP. Plus that great Vietnam war cover!)
- George Perez (for the OMAC team-up in DCCP, a cameo in Teen Titans and various issues of JLA)
- Keith Giffen and Wally Wood on Earth-2 Superman (All-Star Comics)
- John Buscema on "Superman and Spider-Man" (the 2nd crossover tabloid)
Jim Starlin's version also had an odd appeal to me. The guys who bugged me were the ones who could never draw the "S" worth spit: Jim Mooney, Dick Dillin and Mike Sekowsky (though his JLA-model Superman had its appeal).
Oh, and you know what? Dick Sprang was a fair hand at Superman, too.
