Silver-Age Superman by Ed Pinsent and Mark Robinson. This book originally appeared as an A4 sized comic book in 1993. This 2020 reprint is a facsimile edition with extra pages.
Not long after my Illegal Batman book appeared, the Cardiff-based artist Mark Robinson (creator of Bang! Comic) paid me a visit in London. He wondered aloud if there was any scope for an equivalent ÒIllegal SupermanÓ comic. We discussed it briefly and it seemed like a good idea to both of us.
We both shared a love for Silver-Age DC comics, in particular the artwork of Curt Swan, and the Superman stories which appeared under the editorship of Mort Weisinger. At some point it became clear to me how to do it. I wrote to Mark and proposed that I write a story and that he should illustrate it.
This Òexpanded editionÓ now includes three reviews / write-ups of the book, one of them written by Roger Sabin, author of Adult Comics: An Introduction, comics historian and expert, who teaches a course on the subject at UAL Central St Martins. IÕve also reproduced a promotional flyer which was sent out in the mail to garner sales. Other than that the entire story is reproduced exactly as it appeared, with digitally-enhanced scans.
