Remember Marvel's original Power Man?

Hey! That's the Smuggler! I mean Goliath! I mean Atlas! (I guess Eric Josten is the villainous version of Henry Pym!)

Back on William's original topic: A Curt Swan model sheet for a certain strange visitor from another planet: 
Yeah, he could draw emotions, couldn't he?

It seems I'm in the minority in not liking Swan's Superman. He always seemed too, well, middle-aged to me. One of the reasons I welcomed our host taking the character over.

I like a "middle-aged" Superman, I never cared for the 20 something look for the Man of Steel.

I never liked Curt Swan's art,and I still don't love it, but I appreciate what he did. I have a new appreciation for a lot of older artists now that the Showcase Presents and Essential books are out. What I really hated...and I do mean hated...was how bad the coloring was in all those old comics, but in my youthful mind I thought it was the art that stunk. I can still remember reading through the Romita Sr. Essential Spider-Man comics thinking "this guy is amazing" and I wasn't referring to Spider-Man.

I wish DC start a Showcase line for the '70s era Superman & Batman lines. There's pure gold to be found there.

I agree with William's post. I am still not a Swan fan, but I can appreciate him more now without the awful coloring.

The DC team-up books are now into the '70s. I'm looking forward to those!

On the subject of reprints, has anyone else been getting the DC Chronicles books? Those are great. They reprint Golden Age Batman and Superman stories, in order, beginning with Action 1 and Detective 27, in color and paperback which makes them a lot cheaper than the Archives books, about $15 for almost 200 pages. They've also started doing the Silver Age Green Lantern and Flash in that format.

The next Batman Showcase (#5) will be starting on the 70's material.
