I was going on about this last night and figured i might as well make a tumblr post about it.

In the early 90s DC made some character trading cards with info on the back. Ive long thought Metron's pic was very funny, and i think ive posted here about how he looks like hes annoyed, like its a drivers license photo from the DMV and he was ticked off!

But what got me thinking last night was who drew this? And why this style for his costume and chair?

Click "keep reading" below to find out...

[ID: The back of the Impel DC Metron card. It says Identikit along the left side and has a headshot of Metron unsmiling as well as a picture of Metron's Mobius Chair, which with the coloring of this image looks yellowish. The chair is geometrically shaped with the backrest looking like a hexagon. Other text on the card says:

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 190 lbs

Eyes: blue

Hair: black

First appearance: The New Gods #1 (February-March 1971)

Home planet: Unknown /END ID]

There are a few publications I'm going to refer to. New Gods 1989 by Mark Evanier et al, Superman 1986 #65 and #66 by Dan Jurgens, Superman: The Man of Steel #10 by Louise Simonson, and Who's Who from 1990.

First lets get the chair out of the way. Rick Hoberg is credit on card for the art, so we know who drew it. But where did he get his inspiration? Its very much not a typical design for the chair and adds in more angles than previous versions. I believe this is based off the Who's Who, which came late in the New Gods run, but before the Panic in the Sky event from the Superman titles. It's pretty much one for one with the card, just with more detail. The color from Who's Who even trends towards a more yellowy green.

[ID: Splash page featuring Metron sitting in the Mobius chair with his chest puffed out and leaning to one side thoughtfully. The chair is similar in shape to the one on the trading card. Planets float in the background and Darkseid's face can be seen. Light bursts in all directions from behind the top of the chair. /END ID]

--

But who drew the Who's Who? The following page only credits the artists from New Gods 1989 for the thumbnails on the page not pictured here, and from scans I don't see any other artists listed. However, the DC fan wiki does list Dan Jurgens as one of the artists. And wouldn't you know, he'd go on to draw Metron in Superman just a couple years later. I think when you see his work it's pretty definitive he did the Who's Who art.

[ID: Comics title page for "Head Man" featuring Metron in the Mobius Chair floating above a burned out city. He peers over the edge as hundreds of people leave the city on foot in a line. He narrates, "Warwold has visited Almerac - and annihilated a powerful and advanced society. I am Metron, and even I now recognize - that the universe as I know it is doomed." /END ID]

--

Okay so that takes care of the chair. Now time to turn our attention to that hilarious image of Metron's face, which was the impetus for this whole thing. He's just SO done ha ha. I would love to read a whole miniseries about him and his exploits with this art. Let's see what we can figure out.

As mentioned above, Rick Hoberg did the art for the card. That's an easy place to start, and whaddya know, he did art and cowrote with Evanier on New Gods! In fact, his first Metron issue #16 has a 1990 cover date. So all this is taking shape right around the early 90s, which lines up with the date of the card (91 on the copyright and 92 for release from what I can find from shoddy ebay listings).

But there are a couple interesting things here. First, Hoberg's art on the card and art in New Gods are worlds apart. I couldn't even tell it was the same artists. Here's an example.

[ID: Comic panel of Metron's face. He thinks, "I should not. Still, it would be an interesting experiment..." /END ID]

--

Um this does NOT look the same as the card. The forehead dot is orange and yeah that's about it. The similarities end there. And the art in New Gods consistently looks like this. So WHY was the card drawn the way it was?

To understand that, we have to look at the New Gods art that came before. Prior to Hoberg, Paris Cullins did pencils for New Gods. Take a look at the art and pay attention especially to the forehead cutout shape and the cheek shape.

[ID: Comic panel of Metron with hands folded near his mouth thinking, "It is difficult to say if I am witnessing the remnants of unparalleled heroism... Or a stubborn and stupid reflex peripherally affiliated with it." /END ID]

--

Alright, now this is lining up with what's on the card. What I assumed happened was Hoberg was tapped to do the card, possibly bc he was the current or upcoming artist, but it was early enough that he hadn't actually finalized his style for Metron. Alternate theory is that the card art was due while Cullins' issues were still on news stands, so it was better to go with the style currently in print. Either way, it's interesting that he didn't carry that style over to his pencils on New Gods at least for the costume.

You might think "well that solves that!" But we're not closing the book on this just yet. We have to go back to Panic in the Sky. Weird how it's all tied together right? This time we're looking at Jon Bogdanove's art in Superman: Man of Steel.

[ID: Cropped comic panel of Metron holding a mind control device and grinning maniacally. /END ID]

--

Interesting that even though Jurgens' art of sassy Metron and the blocky hexagon chair was featured in the most recent Who's Who, AND his art started off Metron's part in the Panic in the Sky story, Bogdanove followed what was established by Cullins. Was this an editorial decision? Did Bogdanove know about the Jurgens' direction for Panic in the Sky? Did he know about the Who's Who? Or maybe he just plain liked Cullins' take better? Guess we'll never know.

So in conclusion, comics art is a web of artists following each other's work and probably timing and editorial decisions about which design is most "correct" at any given time. Fascinating how just this one little trading card set in motion such a winding bit of research! Thanks for coming along with me on this deep dive, and I'll let you draw your own conclusions on why Metron looks so done in that card image!

Amazing Spider Man 30th Anniversary Promo 1992 Trading Card Set (Impel)

Art By:

Mark Bagley & Larry Mahlstedt

John Romita

Ron Frenz & Al Milgrom

Alex Saviuk & Joe Sinnott

“In 1992, Impel Marketing, Inc. held the license for general Marvel trading cards, while Comic Images held the Spider-Man trading card license.

With the 30th Anniversary of Spider-Man making quite a splash, Impel didn't want to be completely left out in the cold, so they cheekily produced this little five-card Spider-Man "promo set".

All cards were portrait, with frame and logos on the front. The back featured the title, description, and a "web-zinger" factoid. Artists were officially credited.

Note that Impel renamed itself to SkyBox International in April 1992. Marvel purchased Fleer in July 1992, and then purchased SkyBox in March 1995 and merged them to form Fleer/SkyBox. So this five-card promo set was the only Spider-Man card set ever produced by Impel.”
