The Ephemerist

This is the Superman drawing that Rosemary Travale created for Project Rooftop’s Superman - Man Of Style competition, which ended last week.

I like it, it has a certain je ne sais quoi…

This image graces the cover of Shaggerman Rock ‘n’ Roll Vol. 1, a quite good compilation of late 50’s rock, with songs by the likes of the Dazzlers, the Loafers, Tommy Bell and Tony Joe White.

From the lack of information about the publisher etc., I take it this is no original work.  If you have any idea what comic this was lifted from, please let me know.

Vedeze is a Belgian cartoonist who uses existing photographs to create his satirical and topical imagery.  Most of his work is focused on the current Belgian socio-political situation (Vedeze is also a supporter of the “Save Solidarity” movement, which aims at saving the bonds between Flemings and Walloons).  Some, as this example proves, will probably also be understood by viewers from other countries.

And there’s comics content to boot.

(thanks, Arf Lovers, altough I think it’s a bit sad that I had to learn about this site via an American one…)

It’s always a pleasure seeing new, interesting blogs pop up about ephemeral aspects of comics. With L’Homme Dans La Foule, blogger Basil Sedbuk tries to trace the quite voluminous output of French artist Floc’h outside the confines of comics : illustrations, limited edition prints, magazine covers, the works.

I particularly liked the above cover for French magazine Monsieur, since it features a man in a suit and two suited up men.

Wiley Miller has his own ideas about Superman’s limitations !

Judging from this fact-file from Super Friend #1 (DC’s newest animation-type title for younger readers, while also aiming at an older crowd by using a nostalgia-enfused title), Superman is actually a Fisher-Price play figure.

(update : they actually are Fisher-Price play figures…)
