Murphy Anderson, RIP

 

The great Murphy Anderson has passed away. Greater historians than me can tell of his career. He inked the first Superman comic I bought (Action Comics #427, 1973), so Superman drawn by Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson will always be the definitive Superman for me. He was a gentleman. I had a chance to talk to him at length at a con several years back. He was sitting in a hallway, isolated, no one around. I was surprised there wasn't a long line. He was modest and soft-spoken. He graciously signed that first Superman comic I'd bought almost forty years ago. (Photo from the Kirby Museum site).

The Jack Kirby Museum

Fans of cartoonist Jack Kirby who haven't visited the Jack Kirby Museum website in a long time will be surprised at the depth of material there.

Hosting a total of six blogs on the artist, TJKM also features original pencil scans of Kirby's classic '70s period, a documentary and much more.
