Nelson Bridwell) to Superman: The '30s to the '70s, but it wasn't 'til 23 years later that I got to read it for myself. This was when Applewood books printed a superb facsimile edition (dustjacket and all) in 1995. Well worth having. Keep up the good work.<br /><br />(CoryJay stopped in at my blog too, but unfortunately it was only to insult me, hence my not publishing his comment.)Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347683455597417526.post-2209757373799973572012-01-24T19:02:50.104-08:002012-01-24T19:02:50.104-08:00Yes, Steve Rude, Darwyn Cooke, and several others ...Yes, Steve Rude, Darwyn Cooke, and several others have made great honor to comic book roots with their styles and sensibilities. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping in, CoryJay.Thomas Haller Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278003392092477845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347683455597417526.post-30418718438554133392012-01-24T18:11:04.227-08:002012-01-24T18:11:04.227-08:00Thanks for posting these.

A search of his name at comicartfans.com will turn up a lot of his Superman drawings and paintings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
