    Superman "Man of Steel" (Box)

    Has it really been 26 years since John Byrne updated Superman in "The Man of Steel"? Guess so

    OMG! I can't actually I used that acronym, but wow. I've been searching for a long time for a good, hi-res pic of that image for you to use on a box/card. That is my single favorite Superman image ever. Thank you for making that. Holy crap that looks good.
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

      Love the dots! Reminds me of Who's Who, which was apparently inspired by the dot pattern wall paper at the DC offices of the 80s!

      Great box. Probably Byrne's greatest Superman image.

        ^ Thanks! And he's wearing the red trunks Seriously though, Byrne's reboot was one of the best reboots ever...I'm obviously a big fan

            Very, very nice, oh master of the cardboard container!! That is one of my fave Byrne Superman pieces and one of the best Superman pieces since Neal Adams rendered the Last Son of Krypton. I, too, am a big fan of Byrne's run on Superman. He invigorated the title and the characters without even changing a stitch on his costume (except for maybe really making his chevron more prominent, which wasn't a problem for me)!
            sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

                    Exceptional work as always!! Gets me in the mood to work on a figure just so I can request a box to go with it.
