	Paul Gravett: Article - Curt Swan
		Swan's artwork contributed hugely to making Krypton's last son in exile, the alien in our midst, into someone like us, who would think and feel as well as act, who was approachable, big-hearted, considerate, maybe physically superpowerful yet gentle, noble yet subtly tragic.
		Swan might come into the city and pencil two or three covers in a day at the offices for Weisinger, who 'paid' readers like Cary Bates, future DC writer, for their arresting cover images, springboards for stories, not with money but with the original cover artwork.
		Swan was never fired, but he was taken off the monthly Superman books for 1986's relaunch and for a time, for too long, towards the end, his assignments were drying up.

	Superman Super Site - Curt Swan
		Curt Swan was born February 17th 1920, in Willmar, Minnesota as the youngest of five children of John Swan, a railroad man, and the former Leotine Hanson who had worked in a local hospital.
		Swan was of Swedish stock; his Grandmother had actually changed the family name from Swanson (not too unlike the Swanderson name that the Curt Swan-Murphy Anderson team adopted in the 70's) to Swan in the late 1890's while they lived in Canada.
		Swan returned home to tell his wife that he had been given a whopping $18/page rate, and commented that this would be a good job "for a year or two".

	Talent Pool 14 - Curt Swan (Apr 1999)
		Curt Swan's work evidently represented the development of a natural aptitude rather than the combination of aptitude and training that would characterize the lights of a later period (such as Neal Adams or Jim Steranko).
		Swan changed the character, somehow melding the concept of an impossibly powerful being whose powers effectively allowed him to ignore the constraints of physics to an avuncular character who seemed on familiar terms with the reader, often smirking (albeit good-naturedly) through the fourth wall about the foibles of his fellows.
		Swan, while somewhat isolated from general developments in the medium since 1961, nonetheless honed his work to its cleanest and most subtle, and would craft an enduring image of the Superman character that would remain in the minds of readers even after DC Comics moved on to other interpretations of the Superman character.

	Curt Swan Biographer Eddy Zeno: SBC Q&A
		Curt was always striving to improve his skills; he would never be satisfied with plateauing as an artist.
		But while subtly inquiring if I’d spoken to many of Curt’s former writers to see if they were pleased with his interpretations of their scripts, by asking what I knew about Swan’s World War II days, by wanting to know who his cartoonist-golfing buddies were, he showed me the work wasn’t half-complete.
		When Walker (who wrote the introduction to Curt Swan: A Life In Comics) found out another cartoonist was living in the area, he phoned Swan to ask him to play golf with he and his buddies.

	Nightwing's Superman Page: Favorite Adventures
		Swan demonstrates his mastery of facial expressions with an amused Clark and Jimmy and a miffed Lois Lane.
		Swan's accent on emotion suited the Silver Age Superman, as the books took on operatic overtones of tragedy and pathos and indulged in fond sentiment for an ever-expanding supporting cast of friends and foes.
		Swan's long tenure as chief artist had fostered a comfortable sense of continuity in the Superman titles, but in the interim, other comic book characters had stolen the limelight through policies of innovation and change.

	'Nuff Said! the sound of comics on WBAI-FM - Curt Swan cover conference
		When I called Curt to see if he could fit the cover of our first super-hero title into his schedule, he said yes and to tell him what to draw.
		As happy as I was that we could get a Curt Swan cover, part of me was angry at DC & Marvel for not giving him enough work.
		For one thing, he was in his late 60s and grew up in a different era and for another he was the great Curt Swan.

	Comics Should Be Good! » 365 Reasons to Love Comics #203
		Curt Swan was THE Superman artist that I grew up with, especially considering that the alternative was generally Wayne Boring, whose figures I found, then, stiff and unrealistic.
		It was, in fact, Swan’s “realism” that attracted me so much, as well as his ability to characterise a wide variety of characters, giving them easily distinguishable faces and figures, an ability not always in evidence nowadays.
		Swan’s contribution to the Superman mythology cannot be overstated.
