It's Superman!

Not exactly a trademark Chris Ware cover?it?s lacking his ornate text treatments and overload of panels and scenes. I?m also not sure if I?ve seen him use three-point perspective before (though I?m hardly an authority). This scan misses out on the best detail?a ladybug-sized Superman bounding off into the distance.

The book, by the way, is yet another retelling of the origins of Superman. If Smallville is Superman for the Dawson?s Creek generation, It?s Superman appears to be for Kavalier and Klay readers. I?m looking forward to the Anne Rice, Bridget Jones and Robert Jordan Supermans.

Wow.

My only beef is that the strong outline around the skyscraper makes it more prominent than the type. I’m guessing that this wouldn’t be a problem if I saw it in person, tho.

still blows my mind that he hand-draws everything

I think Ware’s ESCAPIST cover, though similar, is superior. Here’s a link:
