It’s Abe Sapien Month at Multiversity! To see all sorts of Abe content, like our “Evolution of Abe Sapien” contest, fantastic original art, interviews and more, click here.

To celebrate our “Evolution of Abe Sapien” art contest, which gives every fan with some ambition and a modicum of artistic talent a chance to have their work published in an issue of “Abe Sapien: Dark and Terrible,” as well as take home a complete set of Hellboy Library Editions, we decided to bring in some ringers, to show us how they interpret everyone’s favorite fish-man. We will be posting pieces each day for this entire month, so come join us for 31 Days of Abe!

Michael Avon Oeming is an artist who needs no introduction – but, since that’s sort of what we do in these spaces, here we go! Oeming is perhaps best known for “Powers,” his Image/Icon series with Brian Michael Bendis which has been in various stages of television development over the past few years. Among us at Multiversity, “The Mice Templar” might be our favorite Oeming project; what isn’t to love about a tale of anthropomorphized mice in a struggle against an evil king? For our pals at Dark Horse, Oeming is working on “The Victories,” a “very adult” take on the superhero genre. Check out his website and follow him on Twitter (@Oeming)!

Feeling inspired by this great piece of art? Then enter our “Evolution of Abe Sapien” art contest! Full details are here. And make sure to pre-order “Abe Sapien” #1 using the Diamond Code FEB130010.
