Timeline
Wayne Boring (June 5, 1905 – February 20, 1987) was an American comic book artist best known for his work on Superman from the late 1940s to 1950s.
He occasionally used the pseudonym Jack Harmon.
Boring attended the Minnesota School of Art and the Chicago Art Institute.
In 1937, he began "ghosting" (drawing for hire without credit) on such comic book features as Slam Bradley and Doctor Occult for the Jerry Siegel-Joe Shuster studio.
In 1938, Siegel and Shuster's character Superman was published in Action Comics #1, for the DC Comics predecessor National Allied Publications, and Boring became a ghost on the soon spun off Superman comic strip, eventually becoming the credited artist.
During this mid-1940s period, he often signed his work for rival Novelty Press's Blue Bolt Comics as Jack Harmon.
Boring's "Superman Covers Atom Bomb Test!"
In 1942, the by-then-named National Comics hired Boring as a staff artist, teaming him as penciler the following year with inker Stan Kaye.
The two would work together for nearly 20 years during a period fans and historians call the Golden Age of comic books.
cover for Action Comics #101 (Oct. 1946) was an early example of nuclear weapons in popular culture.
In 1948, following Siegel and Shuster's departure from the company over a Superman rights lawsuit, Mort Weisinger, the editor of the Superman line, brought in Boring as well as Al Plastino and Curt Swan.
A more detailed origin story for Superman by Boring and writer Bill Finger was presented in Superman #53 (July 1948) to mark the character's tenth anniversary.
Boring was the primary Superman comic book penciller through the 1950s.
One critic wrote of Boring's 1950s Superman art, "Comics legend Wayne Boring played a major role in visually defining the most well known super-hero in the world during the peak of Superman's popularity."
Another writer echoed, "Boring's bravura brushwork defined many of its key elements and made Superman look more powerful and imposing, now standing a heroic nine heads tall, and brought a fresh realism, a sleek sci-fi vision and a greater seriousness of tone."
Boring co-created the Fortress of Solitude in Action Comics #241 (June 1958) with writer Jerry Coleman and Bizarro World in Action Comics #263 (April 1960) with Otto Binder.
Swan succeeded him the following decade, though Boring returned for sporadic guest appearances in the early 1960s and then again in late 1966 and early 1967.
Boring was let go from DC in 1967 along with many other prominent writers and artists who had made demands for health and retirement benefits.
From 1968 to 1972, Boring ghosted backgrounds for Hal Foster's Prince Valiant Sunday comic strip and took over the art on writer Sam Leff's 1961–71 United Feature Syndicate strip Davy Jones.
Afterward, Boring drew three issues of Marvel Comics' Captain Marvel, then left the field to semi-retire as a bank security guard, though he would continue to draw commissioned work.
He briefly returned to DC to pencil some stories in All-Star Squadron Annual #3 (1984), Superman #402 (Dec. 1984), and Action Comics #561 and 572 (Nov. 1984 and Oct. 1985).
In 1985, DC Comics named Boring as one of the honorees in the company's 50th anniversary publication Fifty Who Made DC Great.
Boring died of a heart attack, following a brief comeback announced in one of his last published works, penciling a Golden Age Superman story written by Roy Thomas and inked by Jerry Ordway in Secret Origins vol. 2 #1 (April 1986).
His final work was All-Star Squadron #64 (Dec. 1986) a recreation of Superman #19.
He was posthumously inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame in 2007.
