  • This is one of my favorite comics covers, from Miracleman #24. The image is borrowed from the website of the artist, Barry Windsor-Smith, because when the book was originally printed, the cover was so low-res you could make out the individual dots from the printer with the naked eye.

  • I like to post larger images than this, but this was the best Melinda Gebbie I could find that I feel comfortable posting—she did some beautiful work on Lost Girls with her husband Alan Moore (far superior to his, frankly), but that stuff is pretty blue and the explicit nature of the subject matter distracts from

Erik Larsen’s reappropriation of the character as a dumb, macho riff on Superman is frankly the artistic equivalent of a war crime and I wish the
