Vinyr by Curt Swan

Getting one of my idols, the great Curt Swan, to do a drawing for A DISTANT SOIL was a special treat. I adored Curt, thought he was one of the finest gentlemen I ever met in comics. He was exactly what you hoped the artist of Superman would be: kind, generous, gracious, polite and humble. I cannot say enough good things about Curt Swan. I miss him so much. When he passed away I sat on my back porch and cried so much the cat came running to see what was wrong. If he’d known Curt Swan, he’d have cried, too.

I love how Curt made Vinyr buff: of course, he’s not buff in the comic. But it amuses me. What is more amusing is that Curt didn’t really grok that there weren’t costumes in A DISTANT SOIL, so he put Vinyr in one of Niniri’s outfits. I didn’t notice for ages.

As much as I love it when you buy books direct from me at my book store HERE, remember, you can probably save some serious dough getting them from Amazon. However, when you order from me, you get extras, including signed comics and prints!
