DC Comics is about to issue a hardcover collection of material drawn years ago for them by the late Alex Toth. This is a noble idea as Toth was one of the ten-or-so (maybe five-or-so) best artists to ever draw for the company but there's a problem. They've released a pic of the cover and it's a Super Friends cover drawing that Alex drew in 1975 when their Production Department was on a kick of retouching the work of freelance artists so they could say, "The artist screwed up and we fixed it!" In this case, they lopped off the head of Superman that Alex had drawn and replaced it with a stat of a Superman head by Curt Swan.
The Toth interpretation of The Man of Steel was appearing on millions of TV sets every Saturday morning on the Super Friends show but it was somehow not good enough to appear on the cover of a magazine with a circulation of (probably) under 150,000. I wrote about this awkward transplant years ago in this article.
In that piece, I congratulate DC for sort of "undoing" the redraw many years later when they issued a poster of the same piece of Toth art. They cloned a Toth-drawn Superman head from the back cover of the same comic and installed it where the Swan-drawn head had once been pasted. I hope before this new hardcover goes to press, someone at DC thinks to do the same thing. If they need a clean, hi-rez copy of that back cover art, they should contact me. I still have the original art to it and I'll scan it for them if they promise me a free copy of the new book. Hell, I'll even scan it if I have to buy a copy…just so long as they restore what Alex drew.
