San Diego Comic-Con 2024 Iconic Batman and Superman Cover Art by Jim Lee and Alex Ross Returns
Two legendary artists, Jim Lee and Alex Ross, are reuniting for a unique San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) exclusive cover for Batman/Superman: World's Finest #29, so DC Comics aficioners are in for a treat. This brings back their remarkable Batman and Superman art partnership, which enthralled viewers almost ten years ago.
How Can You Get the Special Cover?
San Diego Comic-Con Booth #2415 and online at AlexRossArt.com will have the SDCC 2024 Exclusive of World's Finest #29 available. Three different versions of this much awaited cover are available to fans: Unsigned ($40), Signed ($80), and the esteemed CGC Signature Series 9.8 ($250). Alex Ross's signature appears on the Signed and CGC versions along with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Although the issue formally comes out on July 17, 2024, pre-ordering your copy on Tuesday, July 16, at 3 PM Eastern Time will let you have the SDCC 2024 exclusive. Given this limited online pre-order, fans are also advised to join the waitlist.
Examining the Work
Jim Lee's dynamic and detailed line work and Alex Ross's hyper-realistic, painterly technique are brought together on the cover art. While Ross's painting highlights the Dark Knight and Man of Steel in their classic costumes, poised and ready for action, Lee's pencils give the image realism and energy.
This cooperation wonderfully captures the reason Lee and Ross are regarded as among the best comic artists of all time. Surely a collector's item, the cover will be sought after for years to come.
Among DC's Best Artist Duos (& We NEED More Art From Alex Ross and Jim Lee)
Given Jim Lee and Alex Ross's Batman and Superman art making a return, one wonders whether these two have any fresh projects scheduled. Though hopeful, it feels right for these two icons to get back together. Though fans already treasure their classic Superman and Batman covers, seeing them working on another legendary hero team like Wally West's Flash and Nightwing—or even Batgirl and Supergirl—would be absolutely epic.
Fans can value their current Superman and Batman cover regardless of what the future holds; even if no fresh projects are under development, this is something.
