Robert Goodin, artist and comic book enthusiast, hosts Covered, a blog for artists to submit their “re-interpretations” of classic comic book covers. Some very closely resemble the originals (one of which dates back to 1919!), while others are more liberal in their re-creations. If you look closely, you can see some artists even rewrote the characters’ original dialogue, which may not be in English. Here are 10 of our favorite reimagined covers.
Original cover by Curt Swan and George Klein; Pubblicazione Settimanale 1963 (cover reprinted from Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen; DC 1963). Giacomo Nanni’s website is here.

The original covers are so much more compelling than the re-imaginations. This side by side actually shows how dynamic comic art is.
Yea, not to be rude but maybe this guy should try reinterpreting bad artists and not artists clearly better than he is … Makes him look like a kid with crayons …
Gotta say that my first thought runs along the same lines ad the others here. If I were to do something along these lines, the reinterpretation would be exactly that.
