I love this cover.

I was flipping channels the other night, and saw a bit of “Arthur,” and noticed that Dudley Moore’s character had this painting framed and hanging on his wall.

Really?? Wow - would love to know the backstory on that.

Here’s a pretty good article on the mystery of the painting(s); mentions the movie too:

Not entirely accurate to the painting, but it's the first thing that came to mind:

"Back in the 50s he was a dough-y guy."

I hope we get a replica of this soon, like we did with Untold Legend of Batman and Superman/Flash. (Unless of course it already came out and I missed it. :S)

I had that one once.

That's a great looking cover!

I love that cover and that comic.

Geez, it does look like Reagan...

stacyhd.bsky.social•16 days ago

Ew, no, it's Superman. Don't bring Ronald Reagan into this.

Now I can't unsee it. MY EYES-

bronzeagebabies.bsky.social•15 days ago

It totally looks like 1940s Ronnie.

stacyhd.bsky.social•15 days ago

You're right, of course.

Guess we can also see where Alex Ross’ style was inspired from….

Don’t remember this one although as I have previously said here and elsewhere it was hard to pick up all the 70s Treasury Editions in newsagents then in the UK (London)
