there weren’t many, if any, covers that looked like this back in 1986.
another stunning elektra piece. there’s such heavy menace and forlorn romance here.
Steranko Saturdays
The rare quadruple-page spread, from NICK FURY: AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D. You had to buy two copies of the book to view this thing properly. As always, Steranko’s visual brilliance was matched by his mastery of marketing.

good this week
the true lives of the fabulous killjoys #2 : the first issue killed it. looking forward to getting deeper into this world.
hawkeye volume #2 : the second collection of this rock solid series has the much-talked about ‘pizza dog’ issue, which came out two short weeks ago, included. that’s gotta be some kind of record.
the comedian hardcover : the BEFORE WATCHMEN books have taken a lot of heat, rightfully so i believe, but this book is a fine look into the life of the character i think is the most interesting new character of the last 25 years.
the invincible haggard west #101 : this little chunk of paul pope’s upcoming BATTLING BOY is pure comics gold. pope kills every aspect of making a good comic, and i cannot wait to read the whole shebang.
the best of ec comics artist edition : a true treasure trove of amazing, inspiring comic book art.

Miller Mondays
two spreads from RONIN. miller could go from claustrophobic, swarming atmospheres to…
…warm, open scenes like this. lynn varley’s colors are brilliant. horses are some of my favorite things to see in comics, and miller’s are among the best.
Moebius Mondays
moebius could go from the bustling cityscapes like the one above…
…to the quiet, dreamlike beauty of a scene like this. the man was one-of-a-kind.
Sienkiewicz Sunday
from the ‘demon bear’ storyline in the early 80’s NEW MUTANTS comic. the story goes that Sienkiewicz was offered X-Men but wanted to do the lesser profile NEW MUTANTS so that he could explore new styles. comics thanks you, bill.
