YEAH. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH.

How’s everyone doing?

I’m back!

But for only one week.

It’s not forever! But it will definitely be a while before I’m back anywhere.

Hope you all take care!

I just want to focus on some stuff in my own life, such as dealing with a heavier workload, and I feel like online stuff is cutting a little too much time into my real life, so I decided to deactivate some of my social media accounts online.

Hey guys, just giving you all a heads up! I will be deactivating my account here in around 10 hours.

Not for any serious reason, if you're worried!

I'm so happy to see the Supermobile reappear in this preview, this looks like so much fun.

He's really inspiring once you know he had Keratoconus, where the Cornea of his eye was thinning progressively during his life.

He did receive a corneal transplant though in June 2023, just before he started work on some new paintings.

I really love his paintings from recent years.

These two were from just this year.

It's just so incredible.

Not to say that the rest of post-timeskip art wasn't good.

I think the Tentei arc is probably where Hara's artwork peaked in the original Fist of the North Star series.

Looking to Spider-Man fans on what they want for a film… is a terrifying prospect.

🧵End.

There are no credits but it's likely either Alvin Schwartz (who wrote the dailies until '58) or Jerry Siegel with artwork by Curt Swan.

🧵Here's the Superman daily strip story "The Menace of Metallo," featuring the first appearance of Metallo.

Dated December 15, 1958 to April 4, 1959. I pulled it together from looking through newspaper archives.

Love the Alex Toth artwork in that annual.
