I’m just a huge fan of this one: Maggie the Mechanic, from Los Bros. Hernandez’s seminal series Love & Rockets, by comics’ most sought-after portrayer of pretty girls, Adam Hughes. Hooray.

Here’s a beautiful P. Craig Russell colored line drawing of Elric from his truly wonderful Stormbringer miniseries (adapted from the Michael Moorcock novel) for the long-defunct Topps Comics.
