Professor K Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Question regarding the cover art of Action 23. The yellow building in the middle where the nice lady's elbow is, notice how most of the windows aren't shown but instead covered in a solid yellow color. What do you think Mr Shuster intended there? Not sure what the solid yellow is supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is having a repeating pattern like that is heavy and distracting. The focus is to be on the characters, I suppose. Notice the rightmost building also has no windows behind the falling babe.

Wow where'd you get that with the windows? I think you're right it would distracting. I thought it was something like that, her body in front of windows wouldn't look right. I guess it can be seen as lights reflected off the building. Thanks V and woo. Action 7 would look really bad with a bunch of windows also.

Aman619 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I prefer your version with all windows, makes a nice texture that Sipes pops better against, the yellow building is too much and is a distraction in a bright color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where vheflin found the picture with the windows but on second thought I do kind of like it better that way. But with Action 7 I think windows behind Supe would have looked bad. Perfect the way it is. I would think that at some point with 23 it was discussed and they decided to yellow out the windows. Maybe it wasn't even Shusters call.

Popular Post LDarkseid1 Posted November 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2023 Recent pickup and my only early Action Comics issue now. Well my only Action Comics issue actually. I kinda hate getting it to be honest, because now I want to get more haha. But it’s just sooo damn expensive to be an early Action collector!

So interesting that Action has been stagnate for YEARS, and is only just now (this last year) picking up some steam. Those first five Supes covers have always been high.... There's plenty of room for these to grow. LDarkseid1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
