Fleischer Man of Steel

I was trying to come up with a cool present to give my nephews (who were 2 and 4) this past Christmas. They're both superhero crazy, and the younger one, Patrick, loves Superman in particular. So I came across this beauty and fell in love. The Max Fleischer Superman shorts  were amazing, rotoscoped pieces of gorgeous art deco awesomeness that inspired my favorite Saturday morning show of all time. But I couldn't find an actual print of the original art, and that site was literally the only evidence I had of it existing. So I used my art skills and my graphic tablet to recreate the scene.

And, hey Zack Snyder, look at how brightly colored the costume is. Isn't that odd?
