Comic Books, Reimagined

Covered, a blog featuring classic comic book covers redrawn and reimagined by contemporary artists, provides an interesting look that the aesthetic decisions made by individuals in this media over the course of several generations. I've never been a big fan of comic books, but I appreciate the illustrations and their effect in bringing the story to life. These new renditions range from fairly close approximations to adding or omitting large portions of the original work. It is intriguing to see what aesthetic choices were made in an attempt to retain the feel of the drawing, while still applying a personal touch.
