Guy Perez's Vivaciously Lewd Update for Superboy #6

Feast your eyes upon this racy yet awesome recreation of the cover for Superboy #6.



Over at the "Covered blog", we are frequently treated to a delicious variety of artists having their take on classic comic book covers in their own style. As a result, we are occasionally astounded by the incredibly creativity by some of the illustrators trying their hands on the classic comic covers.



Today is exactly one of those scenario as we are genuinely blown away by Guy Perez's modernized take on the cover of Superboy #6 that was first published. Surely, the lesbian undertone in the original cover by Al Plastino and Bob Oksner was already there and then.



The original.

READ David Bowie & Andrew Kolb’s "Space Oddity"

And read it to the tune of David Bowie’s original critically acclaimed 1969 track.



"Space Oddity", David Bowie's classic hit single that was first released in 1969, was one of Bowie's most timeless songs with a heartbreaking story and an obvious reference to Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey."



With his latest pet project, artist Andrew Kolb took on an ambitious retelling of the classic song in the form of a children's book. Playing out the tragic space-spanning tale of Major Tom in an initial optimistic and bright retro palette, "Space Oddity" surprisingly is rejuvenated, giving us an all-new perspective on what happened to the infamous astronaut that was immortalized in Bowie's all-time classic.



In Kolb's own words:



DAVID BOWIE-INSPIRED CHILDREN'S BOOK



For my own jollies



Have you ever listened to a song and your mind's eye is immediately filled with visuals?



David Bowie's classic space epic is one such song for me. Every lyric paints such a vivid picture that I figured "Oh hey, I guess I'll make that into a children's book!" Yes, I talk like this.



Note: There is no physical version of this...yet. If you like the book, spread the word and we'll make this happen!



And after making the rounds online, Kolb made the entire book available as PDF ready for download at his webpage:



FULL SPACE ODDITY BOOK DOWNLOADING GOODNESS!



Hi friends. I don’t know what happened but my little Bowie project caught on like gangbusters! Thanks for all interest and inquiries regarding the book.



So, since I’m sure the legal action of Mr. Bowie would be swift and sparkly, I figured I’d offer the full book to download for free!



If you go here you’ll find a link to download the whole thing.



Enjoy and pass it along!



An intelligent study into the much-covered classic, Kold gave new meaning to the lyric, "And the stars look very different today", illustrating a new possibility of the tragic moon-faring trip of Major Tom. This is truly something not to be missed by both fans of Bowie or simply cool graphics. We highly implore you to read the pages from Kolb's interpretation while listening to the original classic song. And while you are at it, download the PDF while you still can.

Resistance 3's Cool Logo-free Reversible Cover

Set to be released on September 6th, Resistance 3, Insomniac Games's Resistance 3 get a cool reversible cover just so that you can have a good, logo-free look at the amazing box art of British artist Olly Moss.



We have earlier covered on the unveiling of the official box art of Insomniac Games' PlayStation 3 shooter Resistance 3, featuring the work of one of our favorite graphic wizard, British artist Olly Moss. In typical Moss form, the box art certainly didn't disappoint, giving us one of the sleekest and best video game box art in recent memory, so much so that the trailer recently released at Gamescom were molded in the graphic style of Moss's work. Nevertheless, we were quite perturbed by the numerous logos all over the places on the box.





And now, in a much-welcome move for those with an eye for cool graphics, Sony and Insomniac Games have announced that they will be offering a "clean/logo-free inlay/reversible cover" on Insomniac Games's Twitter account.



The clean/logo-free inlay/reversible cover you'll find when you open Resistance 3 on 9/6!!! #fb http://yfrog.com/18vpzdj

The Daily Zombie's Year Three kicks off with another batch of awesome promotional art from one of the most anticipated films of 2012, Marvel Studio's The Avengers.



Another month bring us yet another batch of cool promotional art from Marvel Studio's The Avengers.



Just last Saturday, we have showcased the unveiling of a new promotional art piece for "The Road to The Avengers", an upcoming collection of comics set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe continuity. For this new batch of promotional art that have just shown up online earlier today via Russian movie website, Spidermedia.ru we witness some pretty awesome hi-res images of the CG art of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers.



While they are rather close to the original source material's comic book roots (with the collective Avengers in typical "Avengers Assemble" pose), we can confirmed from the promotional images that Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye is pretty much getting the Ultimate Hawkeye treatment with the shades and all while the cinematic Iron Man has seemingly reverted to his Mark IV armor (or a rumored Mark VII) with the circle-shaped chestplate protecting the arc reactor.

Directed by Joss Whedon, The Avengers stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hiddleston and Cobie Smulders. The film is currently scheduled to be released in 3D on May 4th, 2012.
