Title: "Current Status" page Post by: Great Rao on July 14, 2006, 12:21:16 AM We recently added a credits and current status (http://superman.nu/k-metal-from-krypton/credits.php) page to the k-metal reconstruction project.
It serves two purposes - for each page, it gives a breakdown of who did what and, where appropriate, what our source for the original art was; plus it also gives a snapshot into the current status of the reconstruction efforts. This information will continually be updated. For the original 1940 artwork, we currently list "Shuster Studio" for many of the contributions - layout, pencils, and original inks - but we hope to have a more accurate breakdown of the individual artists in the near future. :s: Title: Re: "Current Status" page Post by: MatterEaterLad on July 14, 2006, 12:26:39 AM I was looking at the "original artwork" wanted page...
What are the chances that unknown pages might show up? Title: Re: "Current Status" page Post by: Great Rao on July 14, 2006, 12:49:47 AM We've received a few previously unknown pages since we started. If things continue at the same rate, there's a very good chance that more pages will turn up.
Peter Jones sent in page 20 back when we were still attempting to assemble the story only from the original art. A very fuzzy page 7 (http://superman.nu/k-metal-from-krypton/page-7-recon.jpg) was published in Alter Ego - reproduced from an illegible photo, the only copy of the page known to be in existence. But after we started the reconstruction project, we received two exclusives from Thomas Andrae - a very clear and legible photocopy of page 7, and of the never-before-seen page 12. There are a lot of people very curious to see the original page 26. Although the mysterious metal from Krypton is called "K-Metal" in the last page of the script (the only place in the story that it's ever actually named), there is some speculation that it could have been changed in post-production to "Kryptonite." But I don't buy that - everything we've found to date is word-for-word what's in the script - grammatical errors and all. :s: |
