Here's a couple of Superman covers. All the artwork was taken from an excellent website CapedWonder.com & Jim Bower's really insistent his images aren't used for financial gain so please keep a look out on ebay etc.

If there's any typo's let me know.

Excellent art covers, but, given the nature of your theme (son-father, father-son), I think you should redo the back cover text of II, since Lester's Cut of II doesn't follow that story, at all. Doesn't even have Brando. And Donner's II doesn't have the Paris sequence either.

All I am saying, is stick to the format. Keep the theme intact for the Donner movies.

Also, can you do the same style of covers for re-edits like ADM's Superman II: THE HYBRID CUT and SUPERMAN REDEEMED? Also SUPERMAN RETURNS, maybe, why not?

Shit!!!:eek:

That's a really good point!!! I completely overlooked that. I was making my Fan Edit covers before them so I had that story in mind. :-?

One big problem with re-doing them is that my pc crashed last weekend & I just made them & didn't back them up so I lost all the work & I'm currently working on my Exorcist 3 edit so I'm not really in the mood to do them again.:???:

But I have noticed that the "Father Son" stuff is only on the top in the black bit so I suppose it wouldn't be that difficult. I'll keep you posted.

I'm afraid I won't be doing a cover for Superman Returns cause I don't like the film, as far as I'm concerned all the best bits were nicked from Prt's 1 & 2.:x

Regarding ADM's films are you asking if I could make covers for his films? Never really thought of that. To be honest the only reason mine are the way they are is because he used all the artwork I wanted to use so I had to think of something else. :lol:

Ummm... I mean doing alt covers for official stuff is OK but for fan edit covers, he might be offended by that. I'm sure he puts a lot work into it & made them exactly how he wanted them to be, so I don't know.

To be honest it's difficult enough for me to bother making covers for my own edits never mind othe peoples!!! :lol:

I tell you what PM ADM & if he's cool with it, once I've finished with my exorcist edits, I'll see what I can do. :wink:

Hi, my PC recently crash & I had to make my Superman covers all over again. So I made a few little changes to how I made them originally, esp to Superman II. I also sorted out the "Father Becomes the Son" thing for Superman 2, I was gonna put "The Mother Becomes The Son" but I didn't think that would work so I just put Superman II.

Again, excellent work... But why do you insist on having Brando in a Lester II? Lester's II pisses on Brando and the father-son story is cut abraptly.

Why, don't you make this a cover for the Donner Cut of II? That way its better.

Thanks man! Great job.

Sorry if I seem like an ass, but your covers are excellent and all. It would be a shame to mistake the Lester Supes for Donner's, in any way.

Anyway, I loved your work.

Now, could you please a cover of the same vain for REDEEMED? :D Only if you want, of course...

Great cover!

Although, wouldn't it have been better if you changed the summary on the back to have a description of the edit itself, rather than the specific edits? Just a thought.

Thanks anyway. They look great!

I haven't seen the film yet so I couldn't write a description. If you like you can write a 2 or 3 paragraph description & I'll put that on cover. :)
