Matt Wagner pencils; unused cover prelim; 2005; image size 7″ x 10.25″. Great cover prelim by Wagner showing Superman flying by the Bat-Signal. Here was an alternate cover to Batman #640 a noted story Superman saving Batman. Art is in excellent condition. Signed by Wagner on the lower left. Wagners finished cover is a recent classic, titled Old Friends, showcasing the caped crusader and the man of steel. Despite this cover not being used, this proposed sketch by Wagner for this Superman / Batman crossover is a remarkable find. In many ways, we prefer this alternate cover over the published version. The finished cover in picture 2 is for reference only. Wagner is an American comic book artist and writer, most well known for his creations Grendel and Mage.
