PETER POPLASKI. Original
SUPERMAN cover art (Lot of 2).
“Superman in World War II” (2013)
This
beautiful front cover was created for SUPERMAN:
Sunday Pages 1943-46 (IDW, 2014).
It was is created in mixed media: the
three-dimensional Superman logo, the sub-title,
the Superman figure, and the diagonal stripe are
drawn with conventional brush and ink. The
background with WWII planes, explosions, and
jungle foliage is drawn in “grease pencil” for a
more subtle, muted background contrast and
effect. One of Poplaski’s less-heralded talents
is his top rank lettering and logo skills. So
aside from the exquisite flying Superman figure,
what is especially notable here is that ALL the
LETTERING is ORIGINAL, an integrated part of the
art— NOT stats or photocopies pasted on the art.
The surface is smooth and uninterrupted by
paste-ups. How often do you see THAT on a
cover?!? It is very rare, and adds to the
aesthetic appeal. The lot includes his color
guide.
Medium/Size/Condition:
The finished cover art measures 15” wide x
19” high on heavy Bristol board. Signed &
dated 2013 in lower left corner. The lot
includes Poplaski’s color guide, consisting of
original color pencil colors on a photocopy of
the finished art, measuring 17 x 11 inches. Both
items are in excellent condition
