Matt Wolf Art and Design - Comic Book Art

Marvel Comics | DC Comics | Original Creations

These paintings are of various comic book characters from both the Marvel and DC Comics worlds. You'll find a few of my own creations at the bottom of the page too. Prints are available for $150 (USD) including shipping. Unfortunately, I cannot sell prints of copyrighted characters, so prints of Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and X-Men characters are unavailable. Feel free to e-mail if you are interested in any prints of my original creations though. Click on the thumbnails below to open a larger image.

Marvel Comics - Iron Man and Spider-Man

Spider-Man is one of my favorite comic book characters; I tried to capture the many different aspects of the character in the above paintings but my favorite is the center illustration. I wanted to give Spider-Man a little edge and play up some of the angst of the character but not to the point where he became "Emo-Spidey." No one would like that. Iron Man's another favorite and now I'm sure a whole new generation of kids will be into Iron Man since the great Iron Man film was released.

Marvel Comics - Phoenix, Psylocke, Rogue, Storm and Wolverine

Psylcoke's probably my favorite female comic book character and one who I think is underrepresented in a lot of the fan art out there. So I decided to try and make up for that a little by painting a few interpretations of the character. The Phoenix painting was a commission I did for my friend's wife while Rogue and Storm are there to try my hand at a few of the other X-babes. Wolverine rounds out the section showing off his movie costume and... I don't know what the hell the other costume is but I didn't want to complete another illustration of the character in his yellow and blue costume (either the old or new version).

DC Comics - Batman and Superman

A lot of people are either Marvel or DC fans and I've never understood why you couldn't be a fan of both. I know I am, but I must admit that Batman and Superman are my favorite fictional characters of all time. I have been a Batman fanatic ever since Tim Burton's Batman came out in 1989 and Superman has been a favorite for as long as I can remember. I guess a lot of people think the DC characters are old fashioned and from a bygone era but Superman and Batman are more than comic book characters, they are American icons here to stay for years to come.

Original Creations - The Doorman and Luna

Years ago, almost 10 in fact, long before Suspect Zero and Dexter, I created a character called the Doorman. The short of it is that he is a serial killer who kills serial killers. I know, I know... it's so cliché now but when I came up with the character, something like that had never even been thought up (although the TV show Millennium had hinted at the idea here and there). Luna is a more fantasy driven character with part Amazonian warrior and part mystical nature woven into her history.
