April Fools With Vertigo Ambush Bug

As it is April Fools' Day, one could actually spend a whole month (and then some) focusing on Ambush Bug as done by Keith Giffen, but instead, just a peek at his Ambush Bug Nothing Special #1 (September, 1992), from a time when comics were very serious, especially DC's Vertigo line.

So, of course, as DC's continuity cop, Ambush Bug came along and had a little fun with Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol, Sandman and Death in Keith's 9 panel style.  

Because, why not?

Celebrating Artist Arthur Adams

Celebrating artist Arthur Adams on his birthday (April 5, 1963) with the covers he did for the Vertigo mini-series for Angel and the Ape in the 2000s, which echoes his work at Dark Horse in the 1990s with Monkeyman and O'Brien.

Angel and the Ape features detective Angel O'Day and cartoonist Sam Simeon (who happens to be a talking gorilla), and the two solve cases together.
