What would some famous (and infamous) comicbook classics look like as Penguins or Pelicans?

Not previously, insofar as I could find: Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket, ditto. Though by a different designer.

There's this, too, from 2009.

So basically if Alvin Lustig did comicbook covers.

I haven't kept up with comics since the mid-seventies so I didn't recognize a lot of the characters, but I really liked the Hulk cover.

Anxiously awaiting re-imagined covers of re-imagined covers...

The subtle ones are great.

I was expecting comic book characters drawn as penguins and/or pelicans. A little disappointed, then, even though these are well done.

This is a clear case where something is so well done that comment in unnecessary.

oops.

I, too, was imagining something more like this. (I mean, like that but better, but whatever).

I so badly want the Harry Potter series with those covers.

These are all great.

These are cool, but dang do I hate Flickr slideshows.

Still, the Harry Potters made it worth clicking through.
