CLASSIC COVERS RE-IMAGINED: TIGRA’s First Solo Comic — 50 YEARS LATER

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!

More to come in the weeks ahead!
