I love the cover art to the next issue of Whores of Mensa by Jeremy Dennis, Ellen Lindner and Mardou. Its got a bit of a Sgt Pepper’s cover vibe to it, but angled to the feminine and filtered through the undeniable style of Paris. Jeremy has it up on the Clean Skies blog and as an extra treat Jeremy has also posted up a gallery of some of the women portrayed, from French screen goddess Jeanne Moreau to groundbreaking travel writer Freya Stark, cartoonist Marjane Satrapi to Marie Antoinette and Ludivine Sangier. Go and look at the larger version, its simply one of the coolest covers I’ve seen in ages; you can order it from the guy’s WOM site now and from the British Small Press section of the FPI site.(thanks to Matthew Badham for the link)
