Scott’s Classic Comics Corner: The Cover Art of Win Mortimer Pt.2
On Tuesday, we took a look at some of Win Mortimer’s iconic superhero covers. Today, I thought I dig a bit deeper into his career as a DC Cover Artist and examine some cover he did in other genres.
Danielle Leigh’s Reading Diary — Living for Tomorrow
Living for Tomorrow by Taishi Zaou is short on plausible romantic relationships and but strong on pretty, pretty art. Which means this title is very much like most of Zaou’s work actually.

A couple of Boom! comics that are arriving tomorrow
As I’ve mentioned in the past, Chip Mosher of Boom! Studios is nice enough to send out .pdf files of his company’s weekly releases, and I usually don’t review them. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that time usually catches up to me. I do have a little bit of a life, [...]
