Superheroes

Superman in particular was my favorite hero.

The iconic phone booth, the ‘disguise’ of eyeglasses, the Daily Planet’s logo, and x-ray vision are part of the construct. The comic book cover, particularly from the 1970s, is a unique format through which I explore diverse topics–and I have great fun doing so!

Several compartments hold images of Superman and Lois and a large compartment includes collage of comic book portions.
