Curt Swan: A Life In Comics
By Eddy Zeno • Designed by Jeff Weigel • Published by Vanguard Productions
The elegant artwork of Curt Swan (1920-1996) defined the look of Superman for over 30 years. His amazing skills of storytelling, draftsmanship, and design brought a realism and sense of wonder to The Man of Steel's adventures, making them the best-selling comic books of their day. Filled with iconic and previously unseen artwork, this fascinating biography traces the artist's career from the beginning on titles like "Gangbusters" to his widespread regard as one of the Deans of American comics. Fascinating one-on-one interviews with Curt Swan's family members as well as comics legends Joe Kubert, Carmine Infantino, Murphy Anderson, and dozens more paint a portrait of the artist as elegant as the artist's work itself. The book even features an interview with Jeff discussing how Curt Swan's legacy has influenced his own work in comics and children's books.
