Murphy Anderson It is with great sadness that we report that legendary Superman comic book artist Murphy Anderson has passed away, aged 89.

    Anderson was a giant in the comics industry and one of the driving forces in the evolution of not only DC Comics, but the Silver Age of comics in general. As one of the great artists and inkers at DC Comics, his style helped define the DC look in the Silver Age, and brought to life some of DC Comics' most prolific characters, including Adam Strange, Atomic Knight, Hawkman and Zatanna, as well as his genre-defining collaborations with Superman artist Curt Swan.

Best known for inking the pencils of Curt Swan, the pair's collaborative artwork was so popular with fans that they came to known as "Swanderson".

On behalf of everyone at the Superman Homepage, our condolences go out to his family and friends.
