Comic Book Art: Swamp Thing (Vol 2)
Continuing my look at my favourite comic books and their cover art, with DC Comics' long running series Swamp Thing.
This was a continuation of the second series, The Saga Of The Swamp Thing, and the most successful series, running from 1984 until 1996 under DC Comics and later their Vertigo Comics imprint, and was written by Alan Moore and by Rick Veitch, Jamie Delano, Doug Wheeler, Nancy Collins, Mark Millar. It was illustrated by a variety of artists; Stephen Bissette, Stan Woch, Rick Veitch, Alfredo Acala, Tom Mandrake, Pat Broderick, Mike Hoffman, Scot Eaton, Phil Hester, Mark Buckingham, Jill Thompson and Charles Vess.

Comic Book Cover Art: The Sandman
After showcasing artwork from some of my favourite artists and movies, I'm turning my attention to the cover art to some of my favourite comic books.
Featuring covers from favourites like The Sandman, Preacher, Swamp Thing and John Constantine: Hellblazer to current favourites, Fables, Saga, American Vampire and Chew, plus many more that grab my attention.
But I'll be starting with one of the series that got me into comic books in the first place back in the late 1980's / early 1990's; DC/Vertigo Comics' The Sandman, written by Neil Gaiman and the cover art mostly by Dave McKean.
Check out the art for the 75 issue series and specials after the jump. Click to embiggen.

The Sandman Movie Art by Jill Thompson
Now don't get too excited, Neil Gaiman has posted a link via his Twitter feed to these illustrations by Jill Thompson that were for a movie pitch which
he showed to Warner Bros. back when The Sandman movie was in the very early stages of development.
As it happens I'm currently re-reading The Sandman 75 issue run, currently up to the 'A Game Of You' mini series (#32-37), and I recognise a few of the artworks, such as, Dream trying to reclaim his possessions after being imprisoned (Prelude and Nocturnes #1-8) and the Serial Killer Convention (The Doll's House #9-16).
Gaiman also revealed that they were pitching for three movies, hence the broad scale of the number of illustrations. And being a fan of the comics, I would've loved to have seen a movie (or even a TV series for that matter) adapted from the comics.
A selection of the illustrations after the jump too (click to embiggen).
Click the link for more of the illustrations by Jill Thompson. They are also up for sale, if you have a few hundred dollars spare!
