Superman Concept Art by JimLee

What was this from? I could have sworn I saw this in some magazine asking artists to redesign Superman, like Lee, Liefield, McFarlane, etc.

Manhunter was one of the absolute coolest DC-storys you could read in the mid 70:ies. Story by Archie Goodwin and completely amazing artwork by Walt Simonson.

They reinvented an old golden age character called Paul Kirk, and damn what a result.. I read it as a little kid in the Swedish DC comic magazine "Gigant" (I'd guess kinda like the original American "Giant" issues I've noticed, or perhaps the extra big Detective Comics issues).

When recently learned that a "Manhunter Special Edition" including all the issues existed printed in '99, I of course ordered it quicker than a Flash lap around the world.

Back then you'd never seen anything like this when it came to visual storytelling in comics. Even without the nostalgia glasses, I think it's still holds up almost 40 years later.

As a kid, you quickly became an expert of weaponry thanks to detailed info like below..

The story didn't get worse when Batman himself paid a visit as a guest star towards the later half.

Batman was of course the usual amazing great detective in this plot, in which he and Manhunter had to experience lots of ninja fightings, blind zen archers, zillions of Manhunter clones (an important part of the story), espionage, a beautiful and tough female redhead heroine, a sinister power called The Council and what not..

"Bat-artist" Jim Aparo did the cover for the final issue. I remember it as yesterday, although of course the other content in my Swedish "Gigant" issue was different.

Well, I guess it's safe to say that I highly recommend the Manhunter arc to everyone.

Speaking of Batman and the 70:ies, time for some Neal Adams greatness again. Batman vs. a werewolf while saving a damsel in distress, can't get much better than that.

I just love how Bats swings down w/the girl (a shame I don't own a batarang yet, how can you really live without one?) and then gets up on the safe roof, behind two frames with dialogue we'll read in straight order afterwards. Classic Neal Adams.

Supergirl by Steve Rude

This is an awesome pic. I love when you see a great watercolour artist doing comics. This is also a classic Supergirl suit-design that I prefer before the "skimpier" modern one.

Never understood why she would wear that two piece thing. On the other hand, looking at the olympic female athletes, that (IMO strange) trend has been the same for quite some years now. Go figure.

I grew up with this Supergirl design. Today it might look like hilarious 70:s fashion weirdness, but back then it was pure logic. Puffy armsleeves was the shiznit.
