There is no less than FIFTEEN references to other characters, situations and places on that image alone! Eat your heart out, Alex Ross!

It's insane, isn't it, how this gorgeous work doesn't have a UK presence. Sadly, so many publishers have enthusiastically tried and failed to convince the British comics audience to widen their horizons and this dissuades new attempts, even though I'd argue there may be a larger market these days than there was back in the 1980s and 1990s when Titan and Marvel UK tried to publish some terrific European material as GNs or reprint strips in comics.
