Artwork Details

DescriptionI believe that this is the preliminary sketch for the cover for Superman #254. Looks different than the final cover but when I presented it to Carmine way back when, he confirmed it. This is drawn on velum and then mounted to a thick piece of chip board. From what I've read, Carmine would create preliminary drawings for many of the covers during his tenure, for the cover artist to use as a basis for their layout and design. The final cover for this issue was done by Nick Cardy as can be seen in the additional image.Social/Sharing |

Hi Lee You are correct this is the prelim for Superman #254. Very cool! This was one of my all time favorite Superman covers ever. I loved the cat, ironic I now own a cat that resembles the one on this cover alot. His pic is in my gallery under Zeus or Shazam. If you ever decide to sell this piece please keep me in mind.
