Imageshack wouldn't make this any bigger for me ... grrrr ... :cmad: But I always loved this pic, the way he made himself one with the tracks to save the people. :up: But there are so many great images, this is just one of many that I love. :yay:

...yeah...im still wondering if they took the idea from Alex Ross' 'Peace on Earth'...theres not that much difference...

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/3682/peaceonearthnn8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)


plus, i've always loved the classic...'he stands for Truth, Justice AND the American Way' theme...

http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/276/starsnstripesdm9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

and the first time Superman flew in the Fortress of Solitude...

and when he flew out of Luthor's hide-out through the roof...seeing him as a child...it was awesome...and those images still lives in my memory...

there are a lot of Superman images that stands out...at least for me...

[Lobo]

Nice pics everyone keep them coming :up:

...the way they tweaked that image of Supes crashing the car into saving a car was sooooo lame...he should have seen Supes throwing a car and smashing it into some wall nearby...

Yeah, thanks. For some reason it wouldn't do it when I was trying.

I tend to prefer pics of him saving people or contemplative pics of him in the fortress of solitude, or even the traditional poses - rather than pics of him kicking some supervillain's hiney. They're not that easy to find though.

Check out this one. How adorable is this. I still love the Schuster artwork. :o I actually prefer it's old timey look and simplicity to the more steroidal versions of Superman or overly detailed stuff like Alex Ross does.

Edit: It wouldn't enlarge this one either. :cmad: I think it hates my browers. If someone wants to resize it, that would be great. It's a great cartoon of Clark as a baby. :yay:

I like this image for the Supes/Lois thing. Lois probably found some way to get in trouble. Plus it looks like her shoe collection has a casualty.

Look how cute he was as a superbaby. He even had the curl. :up:

[hammy]

This was in the costume thread.

http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/5683/014sr1.jpg

I love this type of Superman; the Swan, Frank or Ordway style. I don't like the Ross or overly muscley-steroid type. Heck, I'd even take Siegel over those. :up: In fact, I'm happy with even less muscle than this one. But I love the whole, All-American look of this style and the hands on hips, pose.

[Mister J]

I'm a fan of the isolated shots, where he kinda exudes his larger than life status.

Yeah, not the BEST image of Superman but I think this is one of the most familiar to me. I remember just looking at this page over and over and over again when I was a kid. Anything by Dan Jurgens is definitive Superman for me.

why do you say that? i think its a valid contender for the best superman pic. it's so epic, and so familiar, and i think it's very well drawn too. i like it for the same reasons you did. you can't get over it, even if you obviously know its gonna happen.

yeah, Dan Jurgens always did an excellent job with Superman in my book

Its the same in my book as well. Its just not him being displayed as the "norm" of what you think of Superman, thats why I said that. I believe thats what strikes most about it though, heres a man, no one thought could ever die, and hes takin his last breath.

[Snoo]

Lots of pictures define Superman for me, here are some from comics that I find particularly awe-inspiring and Superman-ly:
