A (GLASGOW) WINTER'S TALE...



Myself and an old friend, the bold MOONMANDO, were in the West End of Glasgow today, trying out his brand-new camera.  Here are a few random shots which show just what a delightful place it happens to be, even on a frosty winter's day.  (Of course, we were armed to the teeth, just in case we had to deal with any unfriendly natives invading from the East End.  I had a water pistol and Moony's strategy was to blind any attackers with his camera-flash.)

Yes, I know I'm talking p*sh - but I have a permit.

Everyone surely remembers the iconic SUPERMAN #233 cover by NEAL ADAMS.  Above is a painting by him from 2003, and below is a model which you should be able to purchase at various comicbook-related stores.  Further down is the original cover from 1971 so that you can compare the three images.  Pretty impressive, eh?  (I'm glad to see that he's fixed the position of the right arm, though there's something about the feet on the painting that isn't quite right.  Still, very nice work, that minor detail apart.)  Just thought I'd share them with you.
