Description Behold our comics issue!

We may have had comic-inspired issues before, but we think you'll agree that this month's comic art special is the best so far.

Setting the bar high, the incomparable DC cover artist *AdamHughes has created an exclusive cover for us, with an insightful workshop inside peeling back the pin up perfection of his cat burglarising catwoman.

We speak to graphic novel innovator Bill Sienkiewicz on changing the face of comics in the 1980s with his work on Elektra: Assassins, and Tommy Lee Edwards shares his golden rules of comic art with us. Justin Gerard delivers the last in his two-part series of the art of drawing, and we speak to some of the great cover artists today on 75 years of comic covers.

DC's co-publisher and master artist Jim Lee opens his sketchbook in an extended feature, and 2000AD artist Greg Staples opens up his art studio in our artist in residence regular. If you add to that a selection of great Q&As, a zombie-Mexican wrestler workshop from Dave Dunstan, a Jonny Duddle tutorial that explores Painter's brush system, and a photo-collage workshop from Marc Taro Holmes - not to mention a free DVD replete with goodies - we call that a pretty great issue!

I don't think I read that right.
could have sworn it said Jim Lee opens his sketchbook to the mag....

can't be. that would be too good to be true. like real hoverboards and strippers with hearts of gold.

of course, if this turns out to be true, I'll be more than elated. I'd having a cardiac joy-arrest. Adam Hughes and Jim Lee in the same mag.....

oh. wow.

Mrs. Howlett, thanks a million for the greatest mag in the world. With tutorials by the like of Hughes in the mag I swear, I'm gonna be in it one day.

Looks great! But have you seen the Japanese artists take on DC Comics? They really make the female (shoujo) characters more smoother and a whole lot sexier. Especially redjuice's version Cat Woman.

I think you should look up the issue for yourself (gotta support the magazine, yanno!) It's a long and detailed process involving a lot of use of channels in Photoshop. He does however completely render Catwoman before he takes the drawing into PS for colors c;
