The Essential version of the Marvel Handbook has a few pages that show all of the covers lined up… pretty cool…

What about the 2099 crossover that Ron Lim did the covers for…?

cripes, I wish I could edit so I didn’t just have post after post, but another quadtych can be found on a Dark Horse Star Wars book called “Vader’s Quest” – the assembled image also has a fairly nice mirrored structure…

–yo
last one, I swear. For now.

PS: one of the Cerebus covers is in that lineup twice

Also, while those Outsiders covers are bland, they do line up regardless of which one is first, so itâ€™s got that going for it.

Not only that, but they also line up vertically, as well – again, no matter which one you put first. Does that make them an infinitych?

Brian, how about reversing the order of the two and putting them right under the others, as an example?

I’m pretty sure the JLA Detroit covers were pencilled by Chuck Patton, who was the JLA’s artist at the time. Possibly inked by Romeo Tanghal? Patton had a clean line reminiscent of George Perez at the time, but he didn’t have Perez’ sense of detail or design. He was still a pretty good second-tier artist, though, and might have gone on to greater things had he not been part of the JLA Detroit debacle. Instead, he seems to have disappeared from the industry.

You know what’s funny about that Detroit Justice League quadrich? Individually the covers make sense, but put together they don’t! Why are vibe and gang members on top of that huge chunk of rock Steel is about to toss? And why would Steel toss it with Vibe on top? And what is the tree attached to in the Vixen cover? Why do Vixen and Vibe above the rock seem to be in a forest, but the people under the rock seem to be in a city? And why are the people on top of the hunk of rock twice the size of the people under it? Pretty funny stuff.

Still a cool cover though. Is that Rick Buckler?

There is aldo another quadtych by John Byrne on the covers of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe – Book of Dead and Disabled (the last issues of the run).

Don’t know if it’s the first or the deluxe edition.

Best,
Hunter (Pedro BouÃ§a)

There’s also, of course, all four issues of the Civil War: Young Avengers and Runaways miniseries. Probably the most recent example.

The covers of John Byrne’s Superman and Batman: Generations III #1-12 form a single giant image.

First off, one of the first examples of this phenomenonâ€¦George Perezâ€™ covers for the crossover between Teen Titans and Outsiders.

It should be noted that while the layout on the diptych is by Perez, the finishes on the Outsiders cover are by Jim Aparo.

Boy, Gypsyâ€™s first costume sucked.

You better take that back! Them’s fightin’ words!!

Right, that probably was the Moench run now that I think of it; Ostrander’s was post-Suicide Squad since a couple supporting characters migrated to it. And it looks like the vast majority of comics.org is down right now…

Let’s see…Zot! #19 and #20 (Getting to 99) is one.

Jeff R. said:
“It is a pity that comics.org appears to have lost Ostranderâ€™s Spectre runâ€™s coversâ€™ that Milleneum one really does look better with all four parts in itâ€¦”

It does look better, but that wasn’t from Ostrander’s Spectre run, was it? That was from the previous Spectre series. Wasn’t that written by Doug Moench? I know there was some Mignola art in the series…

Also, Starman had another triptych sequence during the Demon Poster issues. I think it was 24-26.

Peace,
Zig

It is a pity that comics.org appears to have lost Ostrander’s Spectre run’s covers’ that Milleneum one really does look better with all four parts in it…

There’s another one in Cerebus, with the first four or five or so covers in ‘Melmoth’. (Same kind of ‘varying light levels’ business going on there, though.)

What about Kingdom Come? It’s not as dynamic as some of these others, but it is one continuous (and impressive IMO) painting of the participants.

The new Authority covers by Gene Ha also fit together. They had them in a giant banner at SDCC this summer.

The Walking Dead trade paperbacks (the first 3 at least) have the zombies in the foreground forming a tryptych. Though the images above them don’t so maybe its a 1.5tych?

Wow, I own all three parts of that Shellhead/Thor/Avengers crossover and I never noticed that it was a tryptych before. Cool!

(Also a pretty cool story to boot!)
