Action Comics #850


Superman's origin story has been told so many times, but this is by far my favorite version. The art is absolutely gorgeous.

I love how Guedes draws baby Kal. He looks like a real infant--flushed with a slightly misshapen head. Little wisps of hair. Beautiful and strange at the same time, as babies often are. And the other worldly, bluish-green coloring of Krypton works so well.


Heartbreaking!



But then the lovely Kents found him, yay! And just look at the bright sunny Smallville. Once again, the coloring captures the atmosphere.


Clark's curious gaze is so sweet! Martha is tickled pink with her new alien baby. When you think about it, they're truly bizarre people, haha.


Clark showing his empathy and a certain lonliness early on (although I must say, in those clothes he reminds me of a young Bruce Wayne).

This is beautiful. And the fact that he is drawn like what a real baby looks like makes it seem all the more real and heartbraking. The story of l'il Superman being sent off in a space ship has been told so much, you kind of lose sight of the fact that this was parents having to send their tiny, vulnerable baby off into outer space with the hope that someone kind would take care of him. It was so risky, and he wasn't Superman at that point–he was just a baby.
