Are you kidding me?

  I just came across these “doodles” while surfing the web and had to share. Holy shnikes.  Want to see more?  Visit the artist’s site.  It’s mostly in Japanese, but the images don’t really require words.  They speak for themselves.  However, if you use Google Chrome, it has a built in language translator.

Prince Rogers Nelson comic book

© Marvel Entertainment. Daredevil is ™ Marvel Characters.  A very unusual panel page commission from the great Neil Vokes.  Neil took my scene description and made a panel page out of it.
