Finally, after 50 years, Al Plastino's artwork for "Superman's Mission For President Kennedy" is where it was intended to be, at the John F. Kennedy Library.
Newsday reports:
Last October, a month before his death at age 91, comic book artist Al Plastino of Shirley was upset to learn that drawings he thought had long been at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library were instead in private hands and up for auction.
Now, the illustrations he drew for the DC Comics story "Superman's Mission for President Kennedy," and which he was fighting to reclaim at the time of his death, are finally where they were intended to be all along.
Once legal paperwork is complete, the library in Boston will officially own the original artwork. DC Entertainment, which publishes DC Comics as part of Warner Bros. Entertainment, stepped in to buy the black-and-white drawings from the private owner and donated them to the library in December.To read the full story, go here.
