If you've ever wondered what Wonder Woman or Superman do when they aren't kicking butt and taking names, the faux publication called LIVE Magazine will give you a bit of insight into the world of the superhero.
Created by British artist Des Taylor, the fictional magazine company features a collection of humorous accounts of what might be going on in the lives of the super powered humans of the comic book world if they existed in real life.
Baring an uncanny resemblance to the pop culture magazine mecca LIFE, each cover features its logo emblazoned in the top left corner in white and red with a super special hero posing as the cover model. Taylor's set of cover art will be featured at London's Comic Con.
