  10. Wow. This one got quite a response. Thanks for all the kind words, everyone!

    And yes, it's just ink on board, but with a little digital help. I'll detail the whole process in a future Wacky Reference Wednesday.

    1. Thanks! Marvel turned this into a big one, though I couldn't tell you where to get it. But there's one hanging up in the office.

  17. Since this books release, this remains as one of my all time favorite comic book covers. I do have a question, can you name the art style? I've done some research but can't seem to find a name for it.

    1. Thanks, Adam! I based it mainly off of Gustave Doré's work, most famous for his etchings of The Inferno.
