Each week we search and gather up the coolest comic book art you won’t see in actual comics. The reason you won’t is because professional artists often draw sketches for fun or commissions and post them on their websites, blogs, and Tumblrs. Some artists even arrange commissions through their sites so be sure to check them out. This is a way to see the artists working on one book draw characters from other comics or publishers.

We have a different format for the Mystery Art Challenge. This time, the artist draw from two separate hats to determine the character and random object they’ll be drawing. Agnes Garbowska had to draw Han Solo and a video game controller.

Stay tuned for more of these.
