charlie brown charles schultz covered comic book
We've written about a lot of musicians covering other artists' songs, but now there's a new blog called Covered where comics artists cover other comics artists' comic book covers. Wait, what? Let me explain that more slowly: contemporary cartoonists (including some webcomics artists) have taken classic comic book covers and reimagined them in their own unique styles.

The results are a treat for comics fans (or art connoisseurs in general). Even if you've never heard of the artists, it's cool to see beloved characters like Spider-Man rendered in styles that would never fit the Marvel or DC molds. We're used to a certain look from our superheroes and it's jarring -- and kind of cool -- when we don't get it.
