This being the Golden Age of Radio, Orson Welles could become hugely famous without an illustrator ever learning the first thing about how he might look.
It’s not a totally awful likeness, but it certainly could use more jowls.
“This is Clark Gable calling Clark Kent….”
In 1949 Orson Wells weighed A LOT less than he did in the 70’s. He was actually a handsome devil!
I read this issue a while ago, and if I remember right this was in conjunction with promoting Welles’ movie “Black Magic”. In the comic, he appears in his likeness for the costuming in that movie.
Maybe Lois is sitting on his lap?
And why doesn’t that Martian do anything to stop Welles?
“Oh shit! He warned Earth! Fuck it. I’m setting fire to the entire planet. You’ll never take me alive Superman!”
And thus, J’onn J’onzz comes home to find his family reduced to a pile of ashes.
They just didn’t care back then, did they? I remember reading once that when asked what he did for a living, Joe Schuster told people that he worked in “commercial art”…
Why did they even include art in the comics of the ’50’s? It just got in the way of the word balloons.
Seriously. It’s like somewhere along the line, somebody came along and took an axe to redundancy and they realized they had more room for the artwork.
Apparently Scott Snyder never got that memo.
