I loved that cover when I got that issue in the mail the other day, and then I was thrilled to realize who it was by. Mattotti is one of the underappreciated, underdocumented greats of comics. He made a handful of short, European album-style books in the 80s that make wonderful use of color, much like that cover. And he reappeared a few years ago with a single issue of a book called Chimera, which is just phenomenal, all dense black-and-white art, mostly wordless, nearly abstract at times, just a tour-de-force of viscerally exciting drawing. You can see in that cover how good he is at motion, how perfect a choice he is for that subject.

The New Yorker has had some great comics-related covers of late, in the last month or so there has been art by Mattotti, Brunetti and Ware.
