   John Watkiss. Hypatia, 2003.

   He was a notable comics illustrator who died far too young. You can see several strong influences from a century earlier in this work, which I thought was appropriate for today. Here we see Hypatia of Alexandria seized by the Christian mob in the moments before her death, but standing tall in a bright light.
