Only 1 in 15 people will see the optical illusion on this comic cover.
Mark Millar—who you may know as the writer of Kick-Ass, Kingsman: The Secret Service, and Starlight—has a new comic coming out Wednesday.
But it’s the cover art created by artist Sean Murphy that’s already stirring up chatter on social media.
The new Image Comics series Chrononauts follows two science geniuses on a time-traveling adventure, perhaps making it fitting that the cover of the first issue features an optical illusion that will be easy for most readers to miss.

Yes, most people see the broken watch-face with no hands. 1 in 15 see a diff picture entirely. Super-creative brain sees it differently.
