Action Comics No. 1 variant

11" x 17" @ 450 DPI. Art by Jim Lee *jimlee00, Scott Williams *INKIST and Alex Sinclair. By now most of you have seen the progression of this cover. Jim went through a few sketches before ending on this composition. Somewhere along the line Robots were suggested and how much we all liked the Fleischer cartoons. Jim threw in his version of them in the BG, and I did my best to pay an homage to them by simplifying the rendering and going really heavy on atmosphere. Pretty happy with the results--hope you are too.
