One of Superman’s greatest artists was born 118 years ago…
It’s been a couple years since we’ve done a Wayne Boring birthday salute. Let’s fix that right now, shall we?
Boring was born May 5, 1905 (he died in 1987) and is one of the most important Superman artists in history. So dig these 13 COVERS from the Man of Steel’s self-titled series.
Right on.

Boring’s Superman was longer than Curt Swan’s. Interesting.

There is a solidity to his figures that I find, particularly appealing.

I assume that Boring also did covers for Action; I’d love to see some of his work on that title.

Oh, wonderful! I love these! I saw a few of them (like 47 and 41) reprinted in a book on comics ages ago. To say nothing of his drawing of Supes yawning as he’s getting hit by lightning with the priceless caption: “Wayne Boring Superman.”
