SciArt of the Day: Blood of a Hero

Daredevil #18 ? Marvel Comics, Art by Paolo Rivera.

?

Artist Paolo Rivera captures the blood of superhero Daredevil, the blind vigilante with superhuman senses, in much the way his radar-sense must detect the pulsing network within his own body. Yeah, yeah- the horns are his costume, and so wouldn?t have blood?vessels. That?s the type of artistic licence that makes a science-art image more iconic, not less.

Science and medical illustration can be more than functional ? they can inspire and help us re-think fiction, something comic book artists like Rivera can employ with ?jaw-dropping effect.

With inks by Joe Rivera.
