Ok, let me explain.  "Hey Oscar Wilde!  It's clobberin' time!!!"  is the name of a website to which I was recently introduced.  I know the title sounds more than a little weird, but it's surprisingly interesting.  It's content is drawings, from various authors and artists, of their favorite author/figure/literary character.  It's interesting to see who or what has inspired whom.

My personal favorite is Marshal Rogers picture of Corwin of Amber.

Having never read Y the Last Man despite people telling me how good it is, I never got to witness Pia Guerra's incredible art work.  That Marlowe piece is pure excellence.
 
 
edit: David Petersen artwork is always a joy to see.  And I love the Kavalier and Clay picture.  This site is a great find. |

Most of those artists are attached to comic books.  At least the names I recognized. |
