365 Days with Hank McCoy, Day 194

Panels from Spidey Super Stories #57 (March 1982), script by Steven Grant, pencilled by Win Mortimer, inked by Mike Esposito

Monday Night Murals: Tattoo You

Tonight: perhaps the...strangest mural of all? Don't take my word for it...have yourself a look!:

Covers of Final Crisis Aftermath: Ink #1-6 (July-September 2009), art by Brian Stelfreeze

What's that you're saying? That isn't a mural, Bully? You darn little stuffed bull, you ripped us off! We want our money back! You have cudgeled our childhood! Now, before you show up at the door of Casa Bull with pitchforks and torches

DING-DONG

Uh oh, I better get to the point fast. You see, most interlocking comic book covers all join up from left to right, or top to bottom, or occasionally in a block of four or six or nine or...well, you get the picture. But Brian Stelfreeze's mural for Ink is as clever as two very clever things stapled together and placed in a box marked "clever." Can you match wits with Mister Stelfreeze and puzzle out the strange configuration of Final Crisis Aftermath: Ink?

Uh oh, they're breakin' down the door, so I better work fast. Let's put this one here...and that one there...these go over here...and that one on its side..like so! Ta-da!, or, as they say in Paris, violins!

I hope that staves off the rampaging masses: an interlocking comic cover mural that is so unique, it breaks the mold of the usual left-to-right panorama. Thanks, Brian Stelfreeze, for giving us a Monday Night Mural as distinctive as a...tattoo!




Okay, I deserve to be taken away by a mob after running that clip. Here's a Herve Villechaize scene I really like:



Which has nothing to do with comic book murals. Or...does it?!?!

Fantasy Island: Edward (Minisode)

No. No, it does not.

All right, mob, I'll come along quietly.

Ten of a Kind: Spidey was a kid, he liked to hang out in the graveyard

So now you know why he's so emo all the time. Hey, hang out at a mall once in a while, Petey!

And remember: like father, like daughter. Think about it, won't you?
