Art For Art’s Sake #390: Simon Bisley Draws ‘The Bible’

Welcome once more, one and all, to a selection of some magnificent comic artwork … yes, it’s Art For Art’s Sake …

We’ll end this one with a fascinating collection of images by Simon Bisley — but here’s a little teaser.

More from the Biz and the Bible later. But first …

Jaime Hernandez

Mike Collins — A little Asterix, Obelix and Caesar

Enrico Marini — More versions of Asterix. In this case, Fabala and Idefix (Or Panacea and Dogmatix as I’ll always remember them from my reading)

Jim Mahfood – Absolute Batman

Leonardo Romero — Spider-Man

Enki Bilal

Norm Breyfogle 

John McCrea — Tank Girl

Gabriel Hardman — The Thing

Dan Panosian — Wolverine. Panosian tells of giving him Frank Frazetta‘s Panhead Harley-Davidson and Elvis Presley’s shades, not to mention Panosian’s own father’s bell-bottom jeans and cowboy boots.

Keith Giffen and Larry Mahlstedt — Legion of Super-Heroes #313 (1984)

Marguerite Sauvage — Cover for the Archie Comics 85th anniversary of the new Sabrina book

Stan Sakai — Usagi Yojimbo: Kaitō ‘84 #5

Daniel Warren Johnson — Usagi Yojimbo: Kaitō ‘84 #5

 

James Harren — Absolute Martian Manhunter #10

Brian Bolland — Just three of some of that classic run of covers for Animal Man …

Jake Teagle did the area illustrations for the 2026 Green Man Festival, and they’re all rather grand. Here’s just a little selection …

This was rather a surprise. Simon Bisley isn’t perhaps the first artist you would think of who’d have a series of biblical paintings amongst his oeuvre, but here they are, gathered on a fansite.

Thanks to the always fascinating LinkMachineGo for highlighting this one.
