Title: Showcase Presents and All-Star Superman wallpaper
Post by: Johnny Nevada on June 17, 2006, 06:40:39 PM
Wasn't sure if someone had seen this already (or if this is the right topic), but discovered that DC's official website has two samples of wallpaper of interest to this forum---one of "All Star Superman" #4's cover, the other of Showcase Presents Superman volume 2:

All hail Curt Swan!

Though DC has released Megatokyo as a comic book? That chill you feel is Hell just having froze over, and that sound you hear is the cracking of the seal of the coming apocalypse.

Here's a question, though: what's on YOUR desktop? The Windows default? A pin-up of Cindy Margolis? Stonehenge? The George Perez cover to JLA/AVENGERS #2?

Well, since you *asked*: a Joe Phillips cartoon of a sailor kissing another guy (in a take-off of the famous World War II troops-coming-home photograph)... or at least until I put one of the two Superman wallpapers up.  ;-) (Joe Phillips = a gay cartoonist, but one who's done work for DC in the past, including [staying on-topic] doing art for a few 90's Superman stories, according to his website).

Oh, and I run Ubuntu Linux (not Windows)... :-)

Mine's the cover to the Tintin book The Seven Crystal Balls, which I chose mainly because it's not too busy, like a lot of wallpapers, and because, well, I love Tintin.

That was mine until it became too much too bear as my personal  Jonathan/Joe-El departed this dimension last week.

Maybe today's the day to put it back.

Sorry to hear that, Klar, and wish you all the best in what must be a very difficult time.

Sorry to hear that, Klar.

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, Klar.  

I've got a pic from the 1976 DC calendar for MY wallpaper.  I've got a bunch of 'em here:
