is the key idea for illustrative and comic book artwork.
Now. As an experiment, draw someone with black hair. Not dark

brown. Raven black hair. Hair is not one color. It shimmers and it
reflects light. It’s millions upon millions of strands that from a distance
look like one color. So, raven black hair. In the sun. Is it so black that
it’s just an ink blot on top of Superman’s head? No, probably not. A
lot of it is black, but the parts highlighted by the sun are not blonde or
gray either. They are a dark, almost black shade of deep blue.
So, yes: dark blue is the best for coloring the highlights of a person
with black hair.
As for skin, Caucasian people do not have pink skin. Black People do
not have black skin. Asian people are not yellow.
But.
Curt Swan drew Superman in the ‘60s and ‘70s. No photoshop, no

computers, and the paper was the same paper used by newspapers.
Thin, and the colors rubbed off on your fingers. Comics also sold for
between .15 and .35 cents. That means they were produced for as
little cost as possible, with as many copies sold as possible. Low
quality + high volume is how comic book companies made the most
of their money. Especially when the fanbase was kids who did not
know any better. The mid 70s was an artistic awakening in comics,
the fanbase has gotten older and the stories and art had to grow to
please that emerging market.
Pink skin because Superman is Caucasian and these model sheets

were created as guides for in-house use by the DC Comics art
department, who’s mandate was to make as much money as
possible while spending as little money as possible on producing
their commodity: comic books.

This is part 1 of “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?”, and

the interiors were Inked by George Perez. This cover, and the cover
for part 2 of this story are the last of the “Swanderson” Superman
covers, and they are the last time that Curt Swan worked on the

Superman: Secret Origins #3, Page 26 by Gary Frank & Jon Sibal

ungoliantschilde
It is my belief that Gary Frank is the definitive Superman artist of the

last decade. The guy is like a modern version of Curt Swan. And his
use of Christopher Reeve as a model for his depictions of the Man of
Steel is an inspired, yet reverentially nostalgic choice that works
perfectly. For me, Gary Frank drawing Superman was an absolute joy
to read.
I honestly did not care too much for the completely unnecessary
Superman: Secret Origins mini, but his Action Comics work with
Geoff Johns was awesome. As far as the miniseries is concerned,
my issue was not with the artwork in anyway (It was just a bit of a
completely unnecessary book, and it paled in comparison to
Superman: Birthright in terms of content). The artwork was gorgeous
though, as is plain to see from the images above!

I don’t make a huge habit of reposting something I wasn’t directly

involved in, but I really really really like this issue and maybe by
some horrible chance you’ve never read it.

ungoliantschilde
As usual, Doc’s right. It was a fantastic issue. One of those

Superman books that reminds you about why you like Superman.
I had forgotten that Curt Swan was inked by Al Williamson in this

issue. So… Yeah. It’s… it’s gorgeous. The best Superman artist from
the Silver-Bronze era, with Inks by probably the best of all time.
Yeah It’s a pretty book

Making the fact that Superboy Prime became… Well, read Infinite

gut punch basically because of the issue Doc just reblogged.
