Truly beautiful lines and gorgeous black work from Jamie Hernandez… original art from Love & Rockets #30…

Paolo Rivera – studies in Hellboy…

Jamie Hewlett… but of course…

Chip Zdarsky – Ultimate Spider Man/Ultimate Endgame

Here’s something I’d never noticed before having it pointed out to me now… Dave McKean‘s covers to Hellblazer from 1987 to 1990 begin and end with the same face of John Constantine… thanks to Vertigo Art Gore for pointing it out to me.

And finally… something from a master of Euro comics… Enki Bilal. For no other reason than I saw a couple of things by him completely by accident this week and just was as amazed as the first time I’d ever seen his art…
