2007 Ethan Van Sciver convention sketchbook limited to 1,000 copies

Controversial cover: parody of Mein Kampf, the autobiographical manifesto written by Hitler

Detractors of Van Sciver cite this cover as an example of the artist's political and social beliefs

As reported by Bleeding Cool, Van Sciver wrote about the accusations: the cover was SINESTRO, who we'd redesigned that year to resemble Hitler, and with the fact that most people knew I leaned right, this was a JOKE
