As a general rule, Jane Austen gives me hives. And Marvel’s Best Selling Authors line feels somewhat dubious – a mix of “Classics Illustrated” stuff and tie-ins to popular books whose actual Best-Selling Authors are nowhere to be found on the actual book.

But Sonny Liew? Totally awesome:
I know it’s been done before, in one form or another. And is the cropping supposed to be so tight? But still: Awesome.
(And just to show I’m not totally curmudgeony – though it is Monday and I would be entirely justified – Wizard of Oz looks quite excellent.)
