Comic Cover Critique Part 3




Massimo Carnevale is one of the best cover artists currently, and what I appreciate about his work, apart from his amazing painting skills, is the constant innovation on composition and approach. Each story arch he does something a bit different. I'm actually not certain if he does the graphic design as well but on "The Plague Widow" arch they put the title on the side which might be a bad decision, but works well with the composition and with the distinctive look of the book, I bet no one had a hard time finding the book on the shelves.

Carnevale has a great grasp on using blacks and white effectively and an eye for symbolism and details like the skeleton fish. His images make you intrigued about the story and into the mood of the book.

Tomer Hanuka










Tomer Hanuka illustrations and Un-Men Vertigo comics series covers. A new Tomer Hanuka book Overkill has been recently published. Also I recommend the comics collection Placebo Man, collecting Tomer's short stories from Bipolar magazine. Bipolar was a comic he did with his twin brother Asaf Hanuka, a brilliant illustrator in his own right. I hear they are planning to do comics together in the newar future again.

Yoko Shimizu













Wonderful cover illustrations by Yoko Shimizu for Sandman - the Dream Hunters and Unwritten by DC/Vertigo Comics and Walrus and Utne Reader magazines.
