The artwork here constitutes the personal collection, now a decade old and growing, of a single person, the mysterious "S. Gettis." What Gettis has done is to commission a huge variety of comic-book artists to draw portraits of authors and/or their literary creations. He has then arranged these drawings for display by two complementary indices: subject and artist. Click on either type of name and you get the relevant portrait popping up on your screen.

That's all there is, you say? You might as well complain that the Louvre is nothing but a roomful of daubs. The sheer artistic talent assembled here is staggering. All these portraits are purely beautiful. But what's more intriguing is which writer/creation will appeal to which artist, and how they add their own slants to the portraits. For instance, could you have predicted that Stuart Immonen, who recently aided and abetted the insanity of Warren Ellis' Nextwave series, would have chosen to depict Dorothy Parker, looking as elegant as an illustration out of Vogue? Or that Joe Kubert, famed for tough soldier Sgt. Rock, would have gravitated toward Rock's opposite, Edgar Allan Poe?

Just as when visiting a non-virtual museum, you need to carefully regulate your time spent touring this site. It's easy to get lost for hours!
