Pete Poplaski — World’s Finest

Promotional Illustration, Kitchen Sink Press, 1990

Continuing our 70thcelebration of Superman and Batman (Robin, too) teaming up for the first time.

Pete Poplaski’s 1990 promo art of the Dynamic Duo and the Man of Steel makes me happy. 

It appears informally modeled after World’s Finest Comics #2, the issue that changed titles from the original World’s Best Comics. (Which, as noted previously, was the successor to World’s Fair Comics. No worries, there’s never a quiz on this material, especially since I’d probably be the first one to mess it up.)

Of course, as we’ve posted previously, all of Pete’s gorgeous retro work makes me happy.

Remnants of a different era, indeed.
