On his blog, Skottie Young reveals his cover for September’s New X-Men #42, his tribute to Norman Rockwell. It’s based on Rockwell’s “Girl with Black Eye,” which appeared on the cover of the May 23, 1953, edition of The Saturday Evening Post.

Young writes: “… [D]ue to story line I thought this would be a chance for me to pay tribute to one of the greatest artists of all time, Norman Rockwell. I’ve always wanted to this but just couldn’t fine the story that would fit it. So, I was happy to get this chance. Again, I wanted to make it feel like an old magazine, wrinkled from time and faded a little from light. It was a great learning experience and something that I didn’t know if I could pull off. It’s just another part of this crazy experimental stage I’ve been going thru.”
