Roger Cruz - SUPERBOY (Brazil) #24 COVER (1998) - Superboy meets Superman Blue

A glimpse into the mind of a super nerdy collector:
A while ago, I'd bought the cover for WIZARD #68, which had featured
the (then) new Superman Blue costume (beautifully drawn by Stuart Immonen).
While googling some more info about it, I was reminded that the issue
had another, alternate cover, one that had featured X-MAN (a younger Cable)
and was drawn by MARVEL's mainstay Roger Cruz.
I've had fond memories of Roger Cruz's work on X-MEN: AGE OF APOCALYPSE and
on a few other X-MEN issues I'd picked up at the time.
A bit later, that X-MAN Wizard cover popped up on Heritage;
While I wasn't seriously considering bidding on that one (it was a great
image, but I'd never even read an issue with that character), it still got me
to entertain the thought -
wouldn't it be cool if Roger Cruz had the chance to draw Superman Blue instead ?
Well, turns out it would be VERY cool indeed !
Here he drew one of my favorite DC COMICS characters in that certain art style, which
was mostly recognized with MARVEL of the '90s.
This was a very fresh take on these characters and a perfect addition
to my collection.

I hope you'd agree...:)
