Calvin & Hobbes and Watchmen

 

Well, Calvin certainly has the imagination required for such an undertaking.  It would be fun to find out what kind of world he builds.

Night Nurse and Dr. Manhattan

 

This is another one of those covers that required a lot of clean up, extension and de-cluttering of the original image before I could add in any new elements. Here's a look at the behind the scenes process: 

Doctor Who and Dr. Manhattan

 

If there's one person that's not intimidated by beings in possession of nearly unlimited power, it's Doctor Who.  Dr. Manhattan would probably appreciate meeting someone that could understand his unique perspective on time and space.  Yes, I think that these to would get along famously.

This cover comes from a suggestion by Alex Johnson, a Patron of this Blog - Thanks, Alex!

The Beyonder and Dr. Manhattan

 

I saw the delays in publishing DC's Doomsday Clock maxi-series, so I decided to wait until it was completed and pick up a collected edition of the big DC/Watchmen crossover.  I like Gary Frank's artwork and Geoff Johns is usually pretty reliable, but I have read mixed reviews.  What say you?  Has anyone here read it, and if so, do you feel that it is worth checking out?

Doctor Strange and Dr. Manhattan

I'd be interested in hearing what folks think of DC's Doomsday Clock, which brings the Watchmen characters together with the heroes of the DCU.  At first I was wary of such a move, but I am a big fan of writer Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank, so I am intrigued with what they have put together.  Is it worth checking out once they issue a collected edition?

The Watcher Watches The Watchmen

I originally put this cover together as kind of a goof because I liked how the names went together, but now that I think about it, there could be a fun story to be told.  The Watcher is no stranger to divergent timelines, so I can see him peeking into The Watchmen's world and wanting to see if events would have unfolded differently in another reality.  Sure, he's got a vow of non-interference, but when has that ever stopped Uatu?

Superman and Dr. Manhattan

Just as with some of my Marvel/Star Wars covers, this is a pairing that does not seem as far fetched as it once would have.  DC countered the criticism of creating prequels for Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen by wisely stacking the deck with some of the very best creators working in comics today. If you are going to attempt such a controversial product, that's the way to do it.
