My girlfriend Michele self-publishes the books Babylon Babes and Psycho Bunny. She draws very sexy, exotic, voluptuous women (she also draws alcoholic rabbits, among other things). I had this idea that Michele would probably do a really nice rendering of Mantis, the Celestial Madonna, created by Steve Englehart. His original Avengers story arc with the character in the 1970s, and his follow-up in 2001 with Avengers: Celestial Quest, were cool stories.

So, anyway... Michele liked the look of the character, and was intrigued by the spiritual, cosmic aspects of her backstory. I think Michele's drawing came out very nicely indeed.

You can see more of Michele's work on Facebook. Here's the link...

Michele also drew six illustrations for the dark true crime book Tales of Woe written by John Reed. You can order a copy on Amazon...
