CLASSIC COVERS RE-IMAGINED: The FLASH Needs to Get a Grip

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!

I’ve always liked the cover to 1962’s The Flash #133, with great art by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson. It’s so goofy and intriguing. How could a kid resist it?!

But, what does “being turned into a puppet” FEEL like exactly? Perhaps Flash is merely working too hard and has had a few too many Silver Age adventures.

Flash, take a day off, my friend.
