DESCRIPTION:
Larry Wilson's first commission request was "a classic image from the acclaimed 'Whatever Happened to the Man of Steel' storyline from 1986. "This is the story where the "Silver Age" of comics really comes to an end. It is the last story of the Superman we all grew up with. This Superman created in June 1938 was all full of "Truth, Justice, and the American Way". The comic-book world he was living in however was becomming too dark and grittiy for his taste. "This is the story where Supermans' rogues gallery becomes violent lie the times, and Superman has to confront the notion that he his a man out of date... and out of time. He knows in order to protect his way of life, he may have to break his most sacred of vows... and kill. "The scene I would very much like Terry to recreate is to me the most seminal moment in the story. Where it all weighs down on Superman. He is accompanied only by his faithful dog Krypto." When Larry received the commission his response was that the piece was "Awesome, just awesome." The original Terry recreated was originally drawn by Curt Swan and George Perez.
