JH Williams III – Absolute Sandman Overture cover and page…
Fred Hembeck – WW & Cap…
Art Adams – Terror of Godzilla
Mike Zeck – Surfer pinup
Russell Dauterman – Spider-Man
Peach Momoko – X23

Dan DeCarlo – Betty & Veronica
Simon Bisley – Batman Lobo cover and Lobo pin-up

And to end… Positively Liefeldian asks the question, because somebody had to: What if Rob Liefeld had drawn Watchmen? (Via Link Machine Go, who got it from Boing Boing, who obviously got it from Positively Liefeldian). Yep, it’s bigger, it’s got fewer feet… and the commentary’s almost as funny as the art…

Such an iconic moment, Doctor Manhattan on Mars – so why is he so small and boring looking?! And if he can manipulate his size why isn’t he really buff like Captain America instead of all scrawny? #watchmen #liefeld #comics pic.twitter.com/5Ctvz30cIj

Rorschach is our hero, Dave; we don’t want him to look too gross or unhinged! Also reminder: no one wants to see feet, so ditch that panel (Alan has a note about symmetry and patterns and stuff but we can ignore that, it’s not important).#watchmen #liefeld #comics pic.twitter.com/cKKvMHmr2g

Dave, if you’re going to effectively indicate that someone’s been killed you need to make sure their expression is one of screaming in pain, mouth wide open! Ain’t you ever seen a dead dude? #watchmen #liefeld #comics pic.twitter.com/AuLaYUm2Tt

Rorschach is obviously the badass hero of Watchmen so why does he look like such a dweeb? Let’s give him some nice bouffant hair and a more expressive face! And we don’t need to see any feet! #watchmen #liefeld #comics pic.twitter.com/uBDCFVLNlK

If the script calls for a guy with a gun you'd best make sure it looks like a proper gun! #watchmen #liefeld #comics pic.twitter.com/OBR18rNJmK

How are we meant to know Adrian's the baddie if he's not intensely grinning all evil-like? You've also underplayed Dan's shock – his mouth needs to be wide open! #watchmen #liefeld #comics pic.twitter.com/yR3ntYso7A

Dave, baby, Laurie is meant to be a hottie – she's gotta have realistic proportions, and you need to move the camera more. #watchmen #liefeld #comics pic.twitter.com/SgPo7AsXg3

The big moment from Watchmen’s ending, but Dave really goofed here, not even coming close to capturing the eXtreme rage that ultimate badass Rorschach would be feeling! #watchmen #liefeld #comics pic.twitter.com/arPFrIMKZo
