CLASSIC COVERS RE-IMAGINED — SUPERMAN: “It Tickles! No, I Mean It REALLY Tickles!”

SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN!

By KERRY CALLEN

In the years 2009 to 2012, there existed an active website called Covered: Artists Re-Interpreting Comic Covers. It contained a lot of fantastic work by a wide variety of artists. It also contained some of my work.

At the time, I had gotten out of the habit of drawing and decided to start again. I contributed eight reimagined covers. In many ways, it’s where I developed my own current “superhero art” style. I thought it would be fun to share them here at 13th Dimension!

This week we take a look at the classic 1944 Superman #32 cover, pencilled by Wayne Boring. I don’t know if Superman is getting hit by lightning or perhaps an evil scientist’s energy rays. Either way, he’s pretty staid about it. He’s basically just showing off.

So — I wondered what he would look like if he was REALLY tickled by it.

Yes, I get pretty silly sometimes. As I stated a couple of weeks ago, people who are easily amused are amused more often!
