As much as I'd like to be courteous to Gary Frank and his take on Superman, I can't. In any case, nobody cares about anything I write.
Why I hate it:
Drawing inspiration from the Christopher Reeves movies is a bad move, as they were a product of their time. They are as dated as the first Shreck.
The fact that everyone he draws is strangely over-rendered and looks 60 is definitely not going to help when he draws Superboy. Just look at that face, he looks like he is pooping in his red Super Diaper. And Saturn Girl looks like Hideous Girl.
And the proportions he uses, with those enormous heads, really break the illusion further. Heroic proportions? Don't make me laugh.
Actor likenesses are so passé...
