The Sub-Mariner and Abe Sapien



Of all of the famous water-dwelling heroes, Abe Sapien has my favorite design.  You can tell immediately where he belongs even when he is presented in an above ground scene.  He looks at once other worldly and heroic.  I shouldn't be surprised though, Mike Mignola's amazing ability to create unique looking characters is part of what has attracted me to his artwork for decades.

  2. I heard you the first 3 times. I'm sorry that can't respond to every request and suggestion, no need to keep repeating the same one. The answer is always the same anyway,
    "Maybe!" I like all those programs (Well, AoS is just OK) but I don't do many photo covers. But who knows...

  3. Let me guess: these two would be battling it out with some occult menace in the shape of a...Dark Seahorse?

  4. And Mignola would still make it look cool!

  5. Given the title of this one, at some point in the story (probably as the very last line) the villain would have to mutter, "I could have had it all!"

  6. How about a Feline Foursome composed of Catwoman, Mr. Talky-Tawny, Ralph "the Jaguar" Hardy (from Archie Comics/Red Circle) and Felicia "the Black Cat" Hardy (from Marvel Universe -616)?
