Mark Millar has a new comic coming out called ‘Chrononauts’ and artist Sean Gordon Murphy hid something kind of fun on the cover. First off these are ‘Chrononauts’ and not the hybrid croissant-doughnut known as Cronuts. So don’t expect to be looking closely for a tasty pastry treat anywhere as the secret hidden on the cover. The reason only 1% of readers will see this boils down to genetics.
We’ll get to that in a moment. First, the cover with the hidden image. Tell me, do you spot anything in the time piece on the left side?

It almost works like invisible ink! CIA once tried to utilize process in agents for decoding messages during Cold War. @mrmarkmillar

So that’s neat. A little bonus for those who have that super rare color blindness. A totally hidden Easter Egg that for many of us is well and truly hidden.
You can find out more about ‘Chrononauts’ and get an idea of what the series will look like below:
Synopsis:
In CHRONONAUTS, Corbin Quinn and Danny Reilly are two buddies who love to have fun. They’re also scientific geniuses.

CHRONONAUTS is the story of man’s first, televised steps through the time-stream and and everything going wrong in the process.
