While Spider Jerusalem of Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson's Vertigo series "Transmetropolitan" would probably love to see a sketchbook filled with images of Batman getting kicked in the balls, his ego would probably also be open to the sketchbook of tribute art that Trish Brafford has collected featuring pen and pencil work from artists like Walt Simonson, Alex Maleev, Tim Sale, Michael Oeming, Jeff Lemire, David Finch, Jamal Igle and Matt Kindt, not to mention Andrew Charipar's rendition of Spider as a Red Lantern (above)and David Petersen's as a Mouse Guard rodent, which really turn it into a family heirloom in the making.
