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!
Today’s piece, by Mehdi Cheggour, is unmistakably Mehdi, and unmistakably Abe. Mehdi, based out of Morocco, is a relative newcomer to the American comics industry but has made an enormous [rim shot] splash with his book “Enormous,” written by our pal Tim Daniel (who does a ton of graphic design work for us, including the incredible flyer for our “Evolution of Abe Sapien” contest). The book was released originally as an oversized one-shot for Image/Shadowline, and will be returning as a monthly series in the fall from 215 Ink. Until then, the absolute best way to catch up on the action is by reading “Enormous” totally for free right here on Multiversity! Check back every weekday for another page! You can see more of Mehdi’s work on his deviantArt page, and check out an interview we did with him for Artist August last year.
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!
