ACTION COMICS #1035 cover by Daniel Sampere

Writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson has injected a lot of humanity into his stories about the Kent family, and this particular issue which sees Superman leaving not just the Justice League, but the planet, lays the heavy burden of protecting Earth on the shoulders of son, Jon Kent.

Spanish artist Daniel Sampere has been producing iconic cover after iconic cover, but this one has the scope of a Norman Rockwell painting. It captures the love of a mother for her son and both the expectations and hesitancy of all young men to follow in their father’s footsteps.

Sampere illustrates digitally, and so this page is a unique artist proof on thick reves board that is signed and comes with a signed COA.
