Thanks to ¡Journalista! The Comics Journal Weblog, I’ve been clued into Hey Oscar Wilde! It’s Clobberin’ Time!!!, a site that’s been around since 1998. I don’t know how I’ve missed it. It’s a gallery of various artists’ interpretations of their favorite literary figures, authors, and characters.

There are many Draculas here, as well as many characters from the works of Jules Verne, which is to be expected, but some of the more interesting and unexpected images are Bill Sienkiewicz on Dr. Seuss, Howard Chaykin on Philip Roth’s Nathan Zuckerman, and John Snyder’s take on Robert Heinlein. But there are many more, and this site is well worth checking out.

One of my favorite images is this portrait of Samuel R. Delany by Mark Badger.
