There are three for-sure things all people love in life: comic covers, cover bands, and MS Paint. Some warned us to never combine this holy trinity. We here at Multiveristy Comics said no, threw caution to the wind, and combined mankind’s three favorite things into our new weekly feature: MS Masterpaint Theater! Each week, we will highlight some of the best comic cover art by recreating those masterpieces in the artist’s ultimate tool, MS Paint.

Welcome to this week of MS Master Paint Theater. Before we enjoy this week’s masterpieces, let’s run over the rules again real quick.

Rules: 

  1. Must use MS Paint. 
  2. Must use mouse and keyboard. 
  3. No tips, tricks, or hints. 
  4. 1 hour per piece. 
  5. Each piece will be rated on a scale of 1 to 10. 

Simple enough! Let’s open the curtain on this week’s covers! Enjoy

This week I chose to pick a cover from a book and a creator I wanted to highlight. Tyler Landry is a master of the surreal, abstract and often grotesque story telling. Almost all his stories hinge on a complete visual story telling experience. The first issue of his series “Vile” features the story “The Coward’s Hole” from Study Group Comics. I love this cover. Very simple but striking and oddly lonely.  The book is over-sized which makes it stand out even more. It is really hard to do his work justice without just going and looking at it and experiencing it. However, I can try to do “Vile #1″‘s cover justice in paint. MS Paint justice, the worst kind of justice.

Boys and girls. I am not sure how many week we are into this awful experiment. I could check but I always do this last minute and I am sure it drives my editor nuts so i wont. This could be the best one yet. It lacks any of the texture of Tyler’s because Paint lacks pretty much everything. I will say, the expression Tyler gets on the face is very solemn and contemplative. Mine looks like he just realized why its a bad idea to fart in your own space suit. Also the right arm is a disaster. If you actually take a second to look at it it makes no sense. So forget i told you to look at it, it looks great right!!

8.8 poorly thought out farts out of 10


Thank you for checking out another installment of MS Masterpaint Theater. Look for two more stunning recreations next week. As we have settled into a weekly groove I will look to get other Multiversity Staff  into contributing and maybe even possible creator guests! If you are a reader and would like to contribute, we would love your submissions for your MS Paint masterpieces. Send them here: kwelch@multiversitycomics.com. Until next week, may your airbrush always be crappy.
