April 2, 2017: "The Mad Scientist" Superman Fan Animation

Superman fan John Jordan has completed another of his Superman fan animations, this time bringing us the 9 minute "Superman vs. The Abomination" mini-animated movie.

"I worked on it for about a year to do the animation," said John. "I wanted to do one in the style of the old Fliescher cartoons from the 1940s. I created all the art and animation, not sampling anything from the old cartoons."



You can check out John's previous Superman animations via YouTube.
