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!
Like many, I was first introduced to Francesco Francavilla through his backups in “Detective Comics” in the fall of 2010. Since then, it seems like everywhere I turn, Francesco is doing something awesome: doing covers on a ton of Dynamite books like “The Shadow,” “Zorro” and “The Lone Ranger,” doing an extended run on Marvel’s “Black Panther: The Man Without Fear,” and, most recently, launching “The Black Beetle” for Dark Horse. With an upcoming issue of “Batwoman,” covers for a bunch of books and, hopefully, another batch of his posters for episodes of “Dr. Who” and “Breaking Bad,” Francesco is a crazy busy guy. But, not too busy to give us this absolutely incredible Abe. Check out his website, his sketchblog, his “Pulp Sunday” blog, and follow him on Twitter (@f_francavilla).
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!
