The Covered blog is a blog in which modern cartoonists and artists put their own spin on classic comic book covers. Everyone from Superman to Tarzan gets a contemporary face lift here.
The recreations on the Covered blog range from shoddy and silly to stylized and brilliant. My favorite recreated cover is the Spider Man cover. The Spider Man cover went from epic to silly, while the overall message of the story was still retained. Check out all the recreated comic book goodness of the Covered blog in the gallery, or by clicking the source links.
