An entire issue of the scientific journal Nature has been playfully redrawn from cover to cover. Each page is a riff on the corresponding page in the printed journal - advertisements, job pages, scientific comments, articles and letters. The volume also includes a series of vignettes and a supplement relating to information found at Nature online.
