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!

April Fools! We totally planned on having only 31 Days of Abe sketches, but so many artists that we asked and expected a polite “no” from sent in amazing pieces. And then, artists were reaching out to us, asking if they could participate. So, we are going to go a little bit longer, finally wrapping up with some really special day of release content on April 3. So, for the early part of this week, keep enjoying some amazing Abes!

The second of many Abes to get your hyped up for tomorrow’s release of “Abe Sapien” #1 comes to us from Axel Medellin. Axel is the regular artist on Image’s “Elephantmen,” which I could never describe as well as Axel does: “lots of great sci-fi ideas by Richard Starkings, an intriguing saga of human-animal hybrid war machines, and sultry girls galore.” He is also part of The Line is Drawn, which is a pretty essential spot for fans of great art – each week, a bunch of artists draw superhero pieces based on reader suggestions. You can check out his deviantArt page, and follow him on Twitter (@axelmedellin), where he posts a daily sketch (as well as other assorted Twitter things).

And make sure to pick up “Abe Sapien” #1 on April 3 from Dark Horse!
