The Seen

Currently we’re casting a net out for what we’re calling The Seen, a blog and potential book collection of comic-art “remakes.” The project we most famously inspired is Josh Bayer’s ROM. Were also encouraging other artists to tackle some of the work that inspires them.

A tentative line-up in progress:

Artist “Covering”
Julie Doucet – The Seen – Reworked panels, pages and stories from predecessors.
Vanessa Davis Gabrielle Bell
Dylan Horrocks An excerpt from Click by Milo Manara
Tim Kreider Dick Tracy Flattop sequence
