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!

This week we see my take on Marvel Chillers #5, with art by Ed Hannigan and Frank Giacoia. Tigra takes on the Rat Pack! I like the energy of this cover.
I remember wondering at the time if this cover was really worth my redoing. I didn’t have anything new to add. But, then I got an idea of what to do with Red Wolf and it made me laugh a bit, so I drew it!
Ha ha! Forgot about the placement of the Comics Code stamp. (Yes, I’m easily amused. But remember — people who are easily amused are amused more often!)
