My brain: comics, Penguin Classics, and classic hip-hop albums
Posted on 26. Aug, 2010 by Jef in Art, books, comics
These are two things that have helped make my week (and both serve as a nice segueway into this weekend’s Fan Expo) — first up, from the Flickr page of Penguin art director Paul Buckley comes some very great comics-inspired Penguin Classics cover designs (The Communist Manifesto, above):
It doesn’t get much better than this, except that it kind of does, thanks to the other dope-comics-related-thing-that-made-my-week, this time from Tales to Suffice creator Kenny Keil. Keil recently updated his “Superhero Remix” project with more classic hip-hop album covers mashed up with comic characters:
They’re all hilarious and amazing. Check his Flickr for the full set, and thanks to The Beat and Robot 6 for the finds. I’m off to change every single one of my profile pics.

These are awesome. The Bloody Chamber looks like an actual cover for a Chuck Palahniuk book. Invisible Monsters I think. Also, love the ODB/Jughead one
