As cheesy as the story-line was, "The Death and Return of Superman" was a lot of fun. And some enduring characters rose from its ashes. It was the beginning of Hal Jordan's fall from grace. The debut of Steel, Superboy, and the Cyborg Superman, and one of the most embarrassing haircuts in comic book history. That's right, Superman's Super- Mullet (which I've decided to omit from ANY Superman I might draw). All in all, it was an important time in my life as far as comics are concerned. This was when I started getting an idea that making these thing was how I wanted to spend the rest of my life.

The Fourth World
Jack Kirby truly was the King. He kept comics fun, but cool. From Marvel with The Fantastic Four, the Uncanny X-Men, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America and the Avengers; to DC with New Gods, Mister Miracle, The Forever People, Kamandi, and the Demon! He was one of the most prolific creators of the 60's and 70's. Anyways, this piece is definitely inspired by him, and, like his own work, was very fun!
