"Weigel's bright, expressive artwork harkens back to the '60s and is quite appealing. The rhyming text never misses a beat."
—School Library Journal (Starred Review)
"A piece of work which is most amusing and certainly a great tribute to all dads, 'normal' and superhero. Illustrations explode with color and action...a very unique book."

Book Review
A deluxe, illustrated retrospective of the career of Curt Swan — one of the finest artist of the Silver Age of comics. Swan's artwork defined the look of Superman for over 40 years and influenced every generation of comic book illustrators that followed in his footsteps (including Jeff Weigel). Here are nearly 200 pages of comic book history, interviews with creators, and hundreds of samples of Swan's work from across his 50-plus year career. This book is an invaluable resource in understanding the life and art of this distinctly American illustrator.
Curt Swan: A Life In Comics was nominated for the comic book industry's prestigious Eisner Award for Best Comics-Related Publication in 2003.
