This amazing cover was created by Chuck Whelon for an upcoming book called “the Comic Book Guide to the Mission”. There’s a release party for the book this Friday, March 11 · 7:00pm - 10:00pm at Mission Comics and Art. I’m disappointed that Rob Liefeld didn’t make a submission, though. Maybe next year!

shouldn’t the 14 be going along mission rather than across it?
Well yeah, but it also shouldn’t be crashing into a police car.
or should it…..
Isn’t that the girl with the wings (above the cop car tagging on the wall next to the guys playing guitars) that tagged all over the pop up Levi’s store on Valencia? Can’t remember her name…
Great eye! Elle Ko is her name: http://missionmission.wordpress.com/2010/08/02/your-neighborhood-is-turning-into-someones-private-police-state/
Also, there’s dancing cell phone guy: http://missionmission.wordpress.com/2010/08/26/cell-dancer/
Thanks for the cool write up, Vic. We’re expecting a good turnout for the launch party.
By the way, if anyone’s interested, prints of the cover art are available here, perfect for every fashionable Mission district apartment:

Also there you can find a detailed explanation of why the #14 is going the wrong way — although, as we all know, Muni defies any kind of explanation.
