The Golden Age in black and white…
13th Dimension fave Matt Wagner has been busy lately with a run of moody and evocative interpretations of classic Golden Age Superman and Batman covers.
Dig these:
Based on 1942’s Superman #32, pencilled by Wayne Boring
Based on 1939’s Detective Comics #27, by Bob Kane. Obviously.
Based on 1947’s Batman #44, by Jim Mooney and Charles Paris
The three, which Wagner showed at this past weekend’s Original Art Expo in Orlando, Fla., follow others he’s done in the past, like these:
Based on… well you know.
Based on 1941’s Action Comics #39, by Fred Ray
Based on Fantastic Four #46, by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott
