Original Art Sunday: David Mack's Daredevil

This week's feature for Original Art Sunday is David Mack’s cover to Daredevil Vol. 2 #23. I’ve been chasing the piece since I first saw it in Mack's portfolio at San Diego Comic-Con last summer, so I was really pleased to be able to buy it at New York Comic Con two weeks ago. The cover art is an incredible mixed media piece with the Daredevil figure done in pencil, ink and water colors with a cutout paper collage for the surrounding borer. As with all the other pieces I’ve seen by Mack, the detail, depth, texture of the original piece is incredible and the art is even more powerful in its original form than in the printed comic. Mack's run on Daredevil was my first exposure to his work, so I'm really pleased to have this cover to add to my collection.
