James Jean is the consummate artist. His covers are always technically proficient, aesthetically beautiful and evocatively designed. He's kind of like the weird love child of Jo Chen and Dave Johnson. His paintings not only capture the action of the story inside the comic, but the tone and mood as well. There's a reason why he's won the Eisner Award for best cover artist 6 years in a row - few do it better than James Jean. Check out some examples after the jump.
