2016 Advent Calendar --- day 23

Another collection of classic comic book covers.  This time I chose covers of comic collections.


My favorite superhero story, with the most beautiful superhero art of any comic, by David Mazzucchelli.  And this cover just epitomized the simple beauty of his linework. 


THE classic X-Men story, with a cover from Bill Sienkiewicz.  Come on.


A painted George Perez cover. I love the design of this cover, as well as Perez's sharp linework. Great


Dave McKean's covers for Sandman are breathtaking.  And each of the collections has its own distinct feel.  I went with "The Wake" because I love the metaphorical image the centers it all.  


Scott Morse is one of my all-time favorite comic creators.  Soulwind is his magnum opus.  As with Watchmen, I really loved the design of the covers for the five books of Soulwind--simple but elegant.
