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!
This was one of the most unique Abe’s we received, as well as one of the more humorous pieces – neither point should come as a surprise if you know much about Box Brown’s art. Box (real name Brian) is the proprietor of Retrofit Comics (@retrofitcomics/retrofitcomics.com), whose goal is to “publish and distribute floppy alt-comics.” He is also part of the upcoming “Yeah Dude Comics” subscription package. You can get his complete webcomics “Bellen!” and “Everything Dies” for a “name your own price” model at his website, which has links to his ever-expanding number of projects, although none of them are the B.P.R.D./Muppets mashup we’re all hoping for after seeing Abe the Frog. You can also follow him on Twitter, where he is quite entertaining (@boxbrown).
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!
