Alternative comics artists draw David Bowie
Wednesday, June 9, 2010
A lot of comics fans go to conventions and ask their favorite artists to do quick sketches of Batman, the Hulk, or other predictable superhero characters like that. But Sean T. Collins had a much more interesting idea. He asks comics artists to draw David Bowie. The results are interesting and sometimes surprisingly revealing. (Julius Knipl creator Ben Katchor, for instance, apparently refused to draw Bowie because he "didn't want to glorify him." I am disappointed, if not exactly surprised, to learn that Katchor hates glam rock.)
It's an impressive collection of artists, including Gary Panter, Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez, Jim Woodring and many more. Seen above: a rather sickly Bowie as depicted by Charles Burns.
