LOOK! Up on the shelf, it's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's SUPERMAN! Yes, Superman and much more in this career retrospective of Super-artist Curt Swan.
The elegant comic-book art of Curt Swan defined the look of Superman for over 30 years. His amazing skills of storytelling, draftsmanship, and design brought a realism and sense of wonder to The Man of Steel's adventures, making them the best-selling comic books of their day.
Filled with iconic and previously unseen pop art, this fascinating biography traces the artist's career from the beginning on features like
Gangbusters to his rise as the top Superman artist. Engaging one-on-one interviews with Swan family members as well as comics-legend associates like Joe Kubert, Carmine Infantino, Murphy Anderson, and dozens more paint a portrait of the man as elegant as the artist's own work.
A lifelong comics fan, who has written for magazines including Comic Book Marketplace, EDDY ZENO enjoyed a close correspondence with Curt Swan for over ten years.
