Happy Birthday, Superman 6

I was in eighth grade when Kingdom Come came out. The last issue dropped the day I graduated and i could not wait to get my lame lil diploma so I could rush down to the comic shop and find out how it all ended.

This was also my first exposure to Alex Ross’ Superman. As a lil kid I was hooked on the style and even tried my hand at water colors once or twice. Unfortunately I could never give my characters the same breath of life Ross does.

This drawing is based on a splash page from the first issue just after Superman has come out of retirement to help the world deal with it’s super-human over population problems. It gave me goose bumps the first time I saw it.
