EARLY LOOK: Superman: The Man of Steel #38 (November 1994)

For SUPporters only, here’s an early look at our post for the first part of the “Dead Again!” storyline, since Don finished his side way before me (I’m still working on the Super Titles Round-Up post for October ‘94, which will go up before this one). Enjoy!
Art-Watch (by @donsparrow):
We pick up right where Action #0 left off, with the world (and this cover) seeing an eerie short haired deceased Superman still in his coffin. In a little bit of art credit misdirection, this issue features a great Bogdanove cover, but the interiors are a guest spot by Steve Erwin (no, not the Crocodile Hunter) with Jackson Guice on inks (they’re credited on the cover, but the interior breakdown of who did what is buried (pun not intended) at the end of a page of text in the Daily Planet newspaper). The art is mostly serviceable throughout—Guice’s linework keeps it looking familiar, but there are a few gawky facial panels throughout. Page 6 is a good example of that contrast, with a soaring Superman looking right as rain, and then the next panel with a truly terrible low angle shot of Maggie Sawyer (not helped with the shadow on her face looking more like bruising than tone). [Max: The color looks better on the digital copy, for what it’s worth.]
