The Bionic Mayhew

I received my monthly shipments of comics in the mail the other day.  As I was going through all of them -- BAM!! -- immediately the cover of Bionic Man #16 stuck out.  This was one sexy Steve Austin.  As soon as I saw the artist signature, I knew why.  It was drawn by Mike Mayhew, who also turned in a sexy vision of Hawkeye naked and tied to a chair, a la James Bond in Casino Royale.  This was the best I've ever seen Steve Austin look since the Bionic Man series from Dynamite Comics started.  It wasn't just the muscles, it was the handsome face and styled hair.  It's been awhile since I really stared and studied a beautiful cover.  It took this particular cover to do the trick. To me, Mike Mayhew is sadly underutilized.  He not only draws comics, he creates stunning works of art.  I look forward to seeing much, much more of his work.
