Comic Artist Alex Ross Epically Recreates The Cover of ACTION COMICS #1 For New Superman Lithograph
Legendary comic artist Alex Ross has released an awesome new piece of art that he created that is a recreation of the classic 1938 cover of Action Comics #1, which where Superman made his big comic book debut. This is a must own for any hardcore Superman fan!
The artist teamed up with SYFY Wire for this limited-edition fine art lithograph, which is called "More Powerful Than A Locomotive." It is a part of this spring's 80th anniversary of Superman. Ross had this to say in a statement:
"Most people coming to comics realize the historical importance of Superman. But I've always loved very specific traits of the character, and in fact, very specific versions. When I saw some reprints of the oldest comics with him, from the '40s, I immediately fell in love with the art style from then. He looked very serious, very rough and ready... a character built for the era of the Second World War. I like to connect with that earliest version of him, to bring him back to those roots."
The poster will be available for purchase in limited quantity at the C2E2 comic convention in Chicago from April 6-8. Each signed-and-numbered artwork measures 16" X 22". After the limited advance release at C2E2, this lithograph will be released online on April 18, which corresponds to the original launch date of Action Comics #1.
Fans and collectors can join the wait list at Alex Ross Art starting March 30th at 10 a.m. ET, with a per-poster price of $195.
