Description

Miran's work on the X-Files comic back in the '90s was similar to Dave McKean's '90s run of Sandman covers; that is to say synonymous with the title and only done by these one of a kind artists/visionaries. They also are really similar in the way they incorporate other media, like pieces of photos or magazines, into their physical artwork, I have always been fascinated by that collage style of work. Every single X-Files covers except for one (of the 41) issues made was painted by Miran, and that one cover was a photo cover of the actual actors of the show. She has gone on to do covers for all kinds of stuff from a Crow mini series (I almost traded for a Crow cover last year but it didn't work out) as well as a Predator mini series and various other books. Her work is distinct and unique and I have always really liked it. These days I see her work pop up on sketch cards for various Topps and Marvel trading card sets, and I have some of those too, but her collage paintings are what I really love. :) This is for card #28 from the X-Files Season Three card set.
