That's it in a nutshell, isn't it? DC has stopped even pretending they want to appeal to a wide and/or all-ages audience.

Typically, it's all about the cheesecake, too. No beefcake allowed!

)n a purely technical note, altho these pieces are well executed, they demonstrate once again the anachronistic mentality that seems to run DC these days. No comprehension of what it is they're being "nostalgic" about. Not even an attempt to capture the style of the period, and images that would NEVER have appeared on the cover of THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.* ESQUIRE, maybe.

* The Clark Kent piece is the exception -- but it raises the question of why Kent would be posed in such a manner. If the conceit here is that these are "real" scenes, why would the artist include a copy of ACTION COMICS 1? Just a staggering coincidence? Or is it, once again, that we're playing "let's pretend," so internal logic goes out the window?
