Cool Art: '2013 Comic-Con International Souvenir Book Cover' by Dave McKean

One day I will make it to the Comic Con International at San Diego, and the cover to the official souvenir book makes me sad I'm not there this year!

The 2013 edition of the Comic-Con International Souvenir Book will be given out to all attendees (while supplies last) at this year’s event, July 18-21 at the San Diego Convention Center.

This year’s cover was created exclusively for Comic-Con by special guest Dave McKean, and celebrates the 25th anniversary of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman series. Besides Gaiman, one other constant throughout the series was cover artist Dave McKean, who created beautiful, ethereal images through painting, collage, and construction that set the tone for the story inside. Dave’s style of cover art was unseen in the world of comics up to that point.

This 224-page, full-colour trade paperback, given out free to those who attend Comic con 2013, also presents bios and photos of all of this year’s special guests, and a look back at the past year in award winners and—sadly—appreciations for those we’ve lost.
