This has been the year of comic book studios outside of the sphere of the big two taking a defiant stand against disruptive marketing and the calamitous handling of a global plague.

That single splash of colour, ink, and a recognisable face in a daring new adventure. This post is incarnation 46 for 2020, and here’s another interesting number to throw your way: Throughout the year, I collected over 1400 examples of the best art on the market.

Now that’s a high bar of quality and quantity! Here’s a look then, at the final collection of amazing comic book covers for the year from our side:
