Originally I was going to do the next part of John Byrne's iconic revamp of Superman but since I like to change things up once in a while we are jumping forward in the Superman timeline to pay homage to two men of steel, none other than John Henry Irons a.k.a. Steel and the underrated artist who pencilled the MAN OF STEEL ongoing series, Jon Bogdanove.
And it's not like Jon Bogdanove hasn't worked on iconic comic stories.
Besides participating in Superman stories like THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN, FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND ( from which there will be no pages in this post because I am saving those for a special spotlight post ), REIGN OF THE SUPERMAN ( which will be the main part of this spotlight ), PANIC IN THE SKY ( which we already covered in this post from 2023 ), THE DEATH OF CLARK KENT and the electric Zap Superman ( which both will also be in future posts ) for DC Comics he worked on the FANTASTIC FOUR VS X - MEN 4 issue mini series, X - FACTOR and POWER PACK for Marvel Comics.
But even with all of that I still don't feel he gets the credit he deserves.
Anyway, as longtime followers of the blog may remember I already did a spotlight for Jon Bogdanove for his 58th birthday in 2016 where I wrote at length about his career, the triangle era of the Superman books as well as the MAN OF STEEL series and how these issues were the first that were available as monthly issues at german newsstands after a long dry spell thanks to the good folks at Dino Verlag. So you may ask yourself why I felt the need to do another post since I already covered all of the important stuff in the previous post. Especially since said post has a lot of pictures that you will also find in this post. Well, the main reason is that the post does not include a lot of original artwork and also most of the other art is of really low quality. And since I found a lot of original art by Jon Bogdanove while looking for John Byrne artwork from MAN OF STEEL I thought I could kill two kryptonians with one piece of kryptonite.
