I keep picturing a scene with Clark and Jon like:
"Hey dad? Why is your face in a circus poster from the '40s?"
"Long story."
"Were you lost in time?"
"Yeah."
"That wasn't so long."
"Hey dad? Why is your face in a circus poster from the '40s?"
"Long story."
"Were you lost in time?"
"Yeah."
"That wasn't so long."
35 YEARS AGO TODAY - ACTION #663, Triangle Issue 1991-9 is released.
Written by Roger Stern, art by Bob McLeod. A time-hopping Superman ends up in 1943 and becomes a circus performer while hoping to find a way home.

Did this fun commission towards the end of 2025. Simon and Kirby’s creation The Guardian and my Gangbuster! I created GB because DC didn’t let us use Guardian when I first started drawing Superman. They had the Kirby stuff planned for the first post reboot Superman annual.

Here’s a complex commission done a few years back of Superboy Prime with Krypto. These take a lot out of me, because I hate using white correction fluid on a piece for a fan. So the further you get, the more pressure:)

This story really was inspired by a scene Frank Miller wrote in Daredevil, where Captain America proclaims his allegiance to what the flag stands for rather than blind allegiance to leaders.

A TON since my collection is a mess of sometimes overlapping Mexican/Spanish/Argentinian/US editions, but one I intentionally rebuy every chance I get is Adventures #445, Jerry Ordway's first as full writer/artist, which really sets the tone for the whole "Triangle Era". Top notch storytelling.

In 1998 they gave us a reimagining of Action Comics #1 so that it includes more Nazis for Superman to fight.
