StormVengers by Jon Bolerjack
Jon Bolerjack assembles some of Earth 616’s greatest heroes into his Stormtrooper Mashup series. Hey, if you can’t bring together a group of remarkable people, then you might as well clone you some.

Post-Punk New Wave Super Friends by Butcher Billy
We’re all moved by music in some way or another, whether that be in the ass-shaking region or touched by heart-wrenching lyrics, but could the tunes spinning on your record player, walkman, or speakers move one to be a hero? Much like our fabled superheroes, recording artists wield great responsibility and can just as easily save lives. Billy’s newest series explores the relationship between real heroism and fantasy, though in real life we never got Billy Idol riding a giant seahorse so maybe comic books have the edge in that respect.
Pop Culture Portraits by Tomasz Zawistowski
Tomasz wields dark blues and negative space to carve out recognizable visages with sharp angular crevices from the ephemeral digital stone. Where does he get those wonderful toys?
Allegorical Heroes by José Quintero
Batman, Superman, and Spidey take on legendary figures of mythology in this set from José, linking them to the original superheroes of the classical eras and while the masks and use of spandex as defensive fashion may have been a slight deviation from the past, the spirit has always remained constant.

Calvin and Hobbes by Skottie Young
New head canon: Calvin and Hobbes never went back home after disappearing into the woods that last time. They walk the earth, solving crimes together and getting in zany adventures. They didnt need anyone and everything was perfect. Thank you, Skottie.

Whimsy-cals by Randy Otter
You can’t possibly be sad or depressed after seeing any of Randy’s absurd one-panel comics, which often cant decide if they want to be tooth-rottingly sweet or splitting your brain open with a well-timed axeshot… which is to say either will probably kill you eventually, it’s just a matter of how quickly you want to go. The beauty of Randy’s cute yet peculiar panels is, much like the proverbial box of chocolates, you never which one you’re going to get.
Painted Pulp Papier by Sandra Chevrier
Sandra’s process begins with beautifully evocative female portraits, which she then smothers with torn out comic books pages, the penetratingly deep gaze of her make-believe models forever bound and silenced by the iconic fantasy heroes meant to empower them.

Pulp Art Covers by Rafael Gallur
In a perfect world, there would be a lot more mystery and noble crime-fighting luchadores. Sadly, we havent reached that pinnacle just yet, but we can get close to it with the the pulp artwork of Rafael Gallur, which celebrates the over the top bare-chested adventures of luchadores, cowboys, martial artists, and just tons of naked ladies (i.e., the aforementioned perfect world).

Up for the democratic process of voting over at threadless, if you’re interested in putting this design on your body and showing some turtle (and giant rat) love.
Invader vs. Spider-Man by Invader
Hanging in Paris, France, can he swing from a thread? Take a look overhead. HEY THERE, there goes the Invader! Life is a great big bang-up whenever there’s a hangup you’ll find the Invader!
