Does anyone recognize this Superman image? 0

[Captain Canuck]

I just saw a photo recently in the Toronto Star newspaper and am wondering if anyone recognizes the Superman? image in the background. Where is it from, who is it by, print, lithograph, ...? It may not even be an image of Superman, but an homage to him.  The person in the foreground, is a Toronto Star newspaper journalist who's last name happens to start with an 'S'. Side note, Joe Shuster used to work at the Star and the Daily Planet was inspired by the Star. In the comics Clark originally worked at the Daily Star, until they changed the name to the Daily Planet in 1940. Unfortunately, the journalist has just passed away and am not able to contact him to get an further details. Any information would be must appreciated as I like how it is composed. Thanks.

I would guess that it’s an original drawing, meant to be an image of the reporter himself - same hat, similar glasses, etc. Maybe for a retirement or get well soon party?

There was an article in Macleans around that time but I don't see that image.
