Frederic E. Ray Jr. illustrated many magazine covers for Civil War Times Illustrated. His art work helped many of us 'see' the Civil War when we were youths and his art work left a lasting impression on us. I bought this magazine at a book show today mostly for the cover art. Ray was a major expert on American Revolution uniforms.
Ray is best known as the artist who helped develop the superhero look of Superman when he was the primary cover illustrator. Ray did help develop the entire 'superhero' look. Some of the soldiers Ray illustrated the covers of Civil War Times Illustrated with, resemble the "man of steel".
