Superman Family Colouring Commissions
The 1960s Superman books were the last time superheroes could be as innocent and corny and fun as they were. The world was changing, and the comics would change with it. In many ways, they got better. More inclusive, more culturally aware, and deeper than the light ambrosia of a young reporter with a signal watch, and a neurotic girlfriend who cared more about her place in Superman’s orbit instead of her own needs as a person.
But we still remember those stories and the world they lived in with fondness. Case in point, a fellow in California commissioned three pieces from Des Taylor, built around the women in Superman’s life. And then he found me and asked me to colour and package them as covers from 1967, complete with go-go checks. The specific issue numbers indicate the last time go-go checks were used on those books.

Scott, I LOVE the Action Comics cover! As a long time Superman fan, I always thought Lana was a better fit for Clark versus Lois (although Lois has been allowed to REALLY shine in the last few years). Great job!!
