'NEW' SUPERMAN COVER GALLERY - PART NINE...

Images copyright DC COMICS

A mix of consecutive and non-consecutive issues for you in this latest instalment of 'new' SUPERMAN covers, folks. I've included two versions of #123, but I'm unsure whether there were other alternate covers for this ish or not. These may well be all the issues I have of the title, so this could be the last part of this series. Rest assured though, if I find any more, I'll post them on this, the best blog in the fevered realms of my imagination, as well as my house. (I may be delusional, but at least I'm accurate.)

About the artist:

From 1985 to 2000 A.D. (little joke there), I contributed to a variety of high profile comics and magazines for various companies.

For IPC/FLEETWAY/EGMONT, I freelanced as a lettering and logo artist on various weekly comics and monthly magazines, and also as a resize comic artist and spot illustrator on pocket books, summer specials and annuals.

For MARVEL U.K., BLACK LIBRARY, REDAN and USBORNE BOOKS, I again freelanced as a lettering artist, also working as a restoration artist for MARVEL U.S., restoring and re-creating certain pages of JACK KIRBY art for their MARVEL MASTERWORKS editions.

I also lettered the MARVELMAN sample pages submitted to MARVEL U.S. when they were considering acquiring the character, which - as we all now know - they DID.

Supplied comic strips, cartoons and illustrated advertisements for local business campaigns and newspaper publication on a professional basis since the age of 16. Did my first paid art job for publication at 14 or 15 for Lanarkshire Education Board.

Have also made TV appearances as a collector of memorabilia.
