This is the cover art Jim Lee designed for the “Trinity” series. Wonder Woman (book #16), Superman (book #17) and Batman (book #18) each have their own cover, but the art was actually designed as a single image featuring the three Super Heroes in action.
Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman lead the heroes of the DCU against the machinations of their malevolent counterparts, resulting in a cataclysmic event that will change the world – but not like anyone involved expects
This piece utilizes many of Lee’s renown stylistic cues. Lee who at one time studied to be a physician at Princeton University, demonstrates his strong knowledge of the anatomy in order to create some of the most physically imposing superheroes to date, while his cross-cut style of illustration, executed through tiny lines in the character, gives an impression that his characters are actually moving.
A consummate comic fan, Lee originally started noted comic book house, WildStorm, which was later purchased by DC Comics. WildStorm, which remains under Lee’s direction, created Gen 13, Wild C.A.T.S. and Astro City, and is known for some of the edgiest art in comics today.
“Trinity: Wonder Woman” is produced as a fine art Giclee on paper, numbered in an edition of 250 paper and is hand-signed by Lee. It is the first release in a series of three; Superman and Batman will follow. In 2010 the canvas version featuring the three characters united, will be released.
