So says Warren Ellis on the Freakangels boards ( http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/.....123&page=1 ):
"You are a very busy artist/designer. You work a lot, you take a lot of drugs, and you have some mental problems that you really dont like discussing with people and you're still a bit ashamed about that time you stabbed that tramp who yelled "Your brain looks like a television that's been fucked by a rhino" outside the coffee shop.
You do covers for books, comics, and CDs, and you get confused easily.
You've been told you have to produce, in one week, a cover for something called THE MISSING MAN by Steve Ditko.
You can't remember what the cover's for. So you decide it's a CD.
(You do a lot of work for ambient music labels. You have no clue what THE MISSING MAN is. Steve Ditko sounds like someone who does ambient stuff.)
So your image is going to be CD-sleeve sized, or else it'll be rejected. And it's going to have the title THE MISSING MAN and the credit STEVE DITKO.
And how you execute it, what style it's in, everything, is up to you, except of course that it should somehow reflect the title (or perhaps the music you imagine it is), or else it'll be rejected."
I thought I'd try something ambiguous.

The Missing Man is a superhero by Steve Ditko for Pacific Comics. I think the company is defunct.
The hero was an agent for a secret service-type agency. When he gets the call from his superior, he dons a special pair of eyeglasses which cause most of him to vanish. His limbs and face remain. Thus there is NOTHING for bullets to hit. He fights villains.
Only 2 issues I know of were published. Steve Ditko was in the habit of just discontinuing what may have otherwise become popular series. the Question, the Creeper....
