Mr Happy - Action Comics 1 cover homage

Description

Mr Happy for those of you who don't know is my main OC hero of my personal comic book universe. For decades (yes decades) I've wanted to do comics with him but for various reasons haven't. In fact, since I first drew him in 1988 I've only drawn him out a total of 9 times (including this image) that I can recall. One idea I've been toying with for a long time was to have Mr Happy recreating some of the most iconic comic book covers/images of all time. It seemed only appropriate I started with the first superhero of them all, Superman. I've been working on this on the side a little bit at a time for months now but after my most recent commission I decided to push through and finish this off as I just needed to do something for myself. Don't get me wrong I love doing all this art for others (you've got to if you are going to be a professional artist) but I needed some "me time" to recharge the old batteries. Feels good.

In case your wondering the villain featured in this piece is called Clown Car, a multiple personality with the ability split off his personalities into individuals, each with their own unique super power! He may have as many as 100 personalities ta boot! He's a fun and interesting villain to write and draw (I love clowns). When I've more time I want to introduce you guys to the Happyverse and give full images, biographies and power listings of the characters populating my world. Also, more homage cover to come in the future.

This has to be the best Superman homage I've ever seen. 😆
