A fun photo of comic book forefathers: Jerry Siegel, Superman’s co-creator and a Golden Age pioneer, and Julius Schwartz, who reshaped DC’s Golden Age heroes into a sci-fi-focused Silver Age. Their relationship appears friendly in this early 1990s photo.

[The Monitor] was very, very regal looking. Horn braids for hair was something to give a totally different visual. Facially, he ended up being influenced by actor Torin Thatcher who played the villain in both THE SEVEN VOYAGES OF SINBAD and JACK THE GIANT KILLER
