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!

Throughout the month, we will be posting a series of pieces by artists who regularly post at the fantastic sketch blog Brand New Nostalgia each morning this week. Check back weekly at their site, as each week their highly talented roster of artists tackle a different – and exciting! – subject.

I must editorialize for a bit – I absolutely adore this piece from Mateus Santolouco. Yet another great Brazilian artist, Santolouco pencilled the first five issues of “Dial H” for DC Comics, as well as wrote and drew the IDW miniseries, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Secret History of the Foot Clan,” which was colored by yesterday’s Brand New Nostalgia artist, João Vieira. If his twitter (@Santolouco), Tumblr, website, and deviantArt page can be believed, the dude is a pretty huge TMNT fan, which makes the fact that he’s working on their books even more awesome. Really, just stare at this piece again. Damn.

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 pick up “Abe Sapien” #1 on April 3 from Dark Horse!
