The Buffyverse Piss Christ

[sombrefan]

There's a fair bit of controversy over some cover art for the Spike vs. Dracula #3 comic book which shows Spike in a Nazi uniform giving a Nazi salute (the issue is set in 1943 Nazi Germany btw).

You can read all about it at Whedonesque as the artist Eric Wight (Buffy: Animated designer) comments on it as well as other posters.

Elsewhere some Spike fans are saying Jewish and German fans will be horrified by the cover and the artist says he has received hate mail about it.
