This is a very hard to find issue of this short-lived magazine from 1996 and I'm very proud of having it IN MY COLLECTION. I already mentioned this mag on part 2 of our Kingdom Come post, so here's my review, the cover is fantastic, it's one of my favorite renditions of KC Superman along with the one on the hardcover edition where you see him in this sad, yet somewhat heroic poses, which is a perfect example of what this character really is in this series. This magazine is part of the publishing company created by Robert M. Overstreet which releases a yearly guidebook to comic book prices, some of which have covers by Alex Ross, we'll talk more about them in our future posts about books. This issue also contains an article and an interview with Alex, about KC and other stuff. I have reprinted the article below.

Love it! Thank you. Especially appreciate the Overstreet article. Now, if I can only lay hands on a copy of that special issue of Wizard... (Grin)
Hi, I have to agree -brilliant Superman cover. Am pretty new to blogging so pardon the intrusion. Anyway, I'm a big Alex Ross fan myself and I hope you don't mind me posting a piece I did some time ago as a tribute to one of the most original comic books of all time: KINGDOM COME.
My blogspot page is new but I figured if I'm gonna post one piece I did way back during my "impassioned years", might as well create a page where I can post more when I feel the urge to do so again...
