January 17, 2000: Kano to replace Garcia
Superman editor Eddie Berganza has confirmed that Action Comics penciler German Garcia will be exiting that assignment, after a run of only a few months on the title. Regular Action penciling duties will be picked up by Kano, an artist with a similar style to Garcia."Fans have already seen Kano's work in Action #762 that guest-starred the Demon. Can you tell which pencils are his and which are German's?" Berganza asked rhetorically.
Kano joins the title officially with issue #764, but also contributes the bulk of pencils to issue #763, German's last issue.
"I think Kano is very dynamic with his storytelling, and while I'm sad to have lost German, I think we've picked up a replacement that's more than worthy. If you liked German, you'll love Kano."
"I'm also still tweaking Action (improving lettering and such), so it's just getting better with each issue," concluded Berganza. "Everybody says this sorta thing, so just check out the book, and I'll shut-up now"...
In other Superman penciler news, fans of ex X-verse artists Mike Miller and Cary Nord can look forward to seeing their pencils again in Adventures of Superman #781 and Action #766, respectively. A 'regular' AOS penciler has still not been officially named.
