I just get tired of looking up everybody's nose in Gil Kane comics.

	I personally prefer Curt Swan's (and also Jose Garcia Lopez's)
Superman to anything drawn by Gil Kane.  I feel that putting Kane on Action
is as bad as bringing back Infantino to The Flash.  Kane's style seems to be
wrong for Superman and his drawing just doesn't fit with the way I picture
the character.  The drawing really infulences how much I enjoy a story, and
Gil Kane's drawing is interfering with the good Marv Wolfman stories.  I
hope that he doesn't last.

     I personally like Gil Kane, and particularly his Superman.
He portrays a sense of power and strength, that many artists 
have trouble capturing.  I definitely like Action much better
than Superman.  This may be Wolfman, but Kane has a great deal 
to do with it.  I can understand how his style seems bad, I 
didn't like it for years.  But he tells a story with the best of
them, in this case Colan, and no one, with the possible exception
of Simonson can portray the feeling of strength and power better.
