SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN…
By KERRY CALLEN
In the years 2009 to 2012, there existed an active website called Covered: Artists Re-Interpreting Comic Covers. It contained a lot of fantastic work by a wide variety of artists. It also contained some of my work.
At the time, I had gotten out of the habit of drawing and decided to start again. I contributed eight reimagined covers. In many ways, it’s where I developed my own current “superhero art” style. I thought it would be fun to share them here at 13th Dimension!

When I first saw the cover to 1949’s Wonder Woman #33, I thought, “That’s a nice cover, but a bit boring.” No offense to artists Irwin Hasen and Bernard Sachs intended.
Then I noticed it read “Her most heroic battle,” and had the urge to make it even MORE boring.
This was years ago. I might have just wanted to draw her really funky-looking boots. Why didn’t those things stick around?!

I believe the boots were booted because they’re too hard to draw at different angles.

No doubt. Silly artists.

He bores opps he bores. Off in the distance Captain Marvel shows Enterprise by slitting a gut.
