Ok so here is something fun,Back in 1978 one of the most striking images from the Superman movie was not Superman himself. It was actually right in
the beginning of the movie. The comic book in which we see right from the start. I remember as a kid looking at it and at first being puzzled
to why it was used instead of the the Iconic action comics#1. I remember trying afterwards to find that cover and realized after awhile it never existed. Now to my knowledge, I have never seen that particular piece of art ever published in any magazine (if you have and know a link please share)
So I decided that I wanted to recreate that drawing, boy it was not easy. getting reference was difficult thanks to (Johnmiic) for getting me some clear screen shots from the movie.
The Drawing here is in Pencil form on 14x17 Bristol I still feel I need to fix the ships a little bit more, I missed a few things and need to tweek and change other things but, I got past the hard part and got it almost done. The type face was added on my computer taken from the original typeface used on Action Comics number one.
Enjoy
Steve.
Final Pencil version
