This may be the perfect example of why I loves me some superhero comic books:

 

Superman in Action Comics

 

I mean, yes: It’s goofy as hell. It’s Superman talking out loud to himself while flying towards a gigantic golden temple that somehow exists in the moments before the Big Bang. (Don’t try to think about it — it will hurt your brain.)

But, God — the power and the passion in that artwork! The sheer never-say-die-ness (is that a word?) of Superman’s resolve…

I love this stuff.
