Ric Estrada passed away last Friday after losing a long battle with cancer. In a spinner rack filled with art by the likes of Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Joe Kubert, Wally Wood, Neal Adams, John Buscema, Barry Smith, Jim Starlin, John Byrne, and George Perez, art by journeymen like Ric Estrada could be easily overlooked or forgotten.

World’s Finest #208 features a rather dramatic Neal Adams cover that doesn’t 100% tell the story on the inside, but that’s half the charm of DC covers. Superman does indeed do some heavy duty pulling; he [...]
