Top 10 comic book urban/city spaces

A very interesting article for anybody into alternative visualization of urban spaces and virtual cities, from Gotham City to Mega City One, the online Architects’ Journal presents a selection of the best depicted comic book urban locations, which is very well illustrated throughout and makes for great reading.

These include Radiant City (from comic Mr X), Metropolis (from Superman), Gotham City (from Batman), New York (from Daredevil) and others. It is extremely thought-provoking to see how cartoon illustrators have decided to depict urban spaces (and more importantly why) in all of these specific cases.
