Description I felt like drawing SUPERBOY once again... and decided to do just that...! I was thinking about how much I'd love to see a line of the big icons at DC as young versions to appeal to new and young readers-- but not as an 'ADVENTURES' style comic-- but something taken more seriously.

Posted on my blog today.

TI've always hoped that they would make a Superboy cartoon. If they did they should so go with you style. Great job.

He looks real animated, I can picture him moving, it makes me think of the old Disney animations, as well as the first issue of the Secret Identity mini-series, which contemplates a Superboy in the real world.
I like it a lot.

Now that looks like the face of a Kid who would punch someones head off...
Oh, yeah he did.....

You really made him look young and not like a mini-adult.
Great work, I love this picture.

I always preferred Superboy's Teen Titan costume to the traditional Superman costume on him. But you handled this very well, I love it.

thats a great sketch man.how long does it take for somethin like this cause im sure its for a warm up deal right?

Wieringo In reply to AaronHoustonArt [2007-01-30 14:31:33 +0000 UTC]

It took me about a half an hour.... yeah, this was a warm up sketch. Some times they come fast like this one-- and some times they're a real struggle.

It's different every time I sit down at the drawing table. It's one of the fascinating-- and frustrating-- things about drawing.

I love the way you draw teenagers, cuz they really look like teenagers.
many comic book artists (event very talented ones) draw them like they were 20, 25.....
this one rocks.

Can I ask you something?!
How long did it take to put that sketch togheter, and did you based it of something?
I am asking cause the composition of the poses it's great.
It kind of seems effortless for you! Talking about talent.

The friggin' bomb, bruvver! I want to see you do a new Legion series--somethin' that captures the nostalgia of the 70s series. Alan Davis did one that really worked as an homage book as well as a cool contemporary story.

diaverik In reply to kidmarvelj [2007-01-30 18:51:21 +0000 UTC]

the allstar imprint its not similar to the ultimate imprint, the allstar is not a reimagine of a character like the ultimate and the allstar is not necessarily mature like all the ultamate comics
