I never liked Superman as a kid mainly because of the Curt Swan art; blasphemy to some I know but not only did it not speak to me but it actively repelled me. A part of my brain always said that his Superman didn't look like Superman to me. Which is kind of odd in that he was almost the ONLY Superman artist I was exposed to back then.

Then I got a couple of Superman digests and it had some reprints of Wayne Boring Superman and it really looked like Superman to me. Slick, but not too slick and very powerful. Great compositions on his pages, and he seemed to be able to draw pretty much everything. Still didn't really like Superman until I read JB's Superman but I finally saw what others could like about him.

Boring is one of those artists that I appreciate now way more than I did as a kid.

That's exactly what I would have said. As I've gotten older, I've learned to appreciate the way the art looked at different eras in comics history. Boring, Sprang, Ditko even, are artists I just didn't "get" when I was younger. Now I get it. 

Wayne Boring and Curt Swan are THE Superman artists for me.i grew up not only with the US Superman comic with the Swan/Anderson team, but the British christmas annuals,which were mainly reprints of the Boring era

i think this cover was later used as an ad for Kryptonite in the 70's
