This is some rather excellent wiener dog-related art from DieToonDie.com (a web site that appears to use the very same exact wordpress skin as WAWD).

Captain "Peg Boy" Ahab
Adapted by Roy Thomas. Penciller: Pascal Alixe. Inker: Victor Olazaba. Colorist: Andrew Crossley. Letterer: Rus Wootan
Nice, long review at Comic Book Bin by Andy Frisk, who sums it up nicely by saying:
Overall, for those of you who love MOBY-DICK (as you probably can guess, if you’re still with me, as I do) Marvel Illustrated’s Roy Thomas adapted graphic novel interpretation is a worthy one and is a pleasure to read and absorb. If you’ve never read MOBY-DICK before you will still enjoy this easy to read yet completely non-juvenile adaptation. I truly feel that Thomas accomplished his goal of creating an adaptation of a grand and fascinating novel that truly will inspire readers to want to either re-read or pick up for the first time Melville’s original work. It certainly has done so for me.
But, alas, “The Whiteness Of The Whale” did not make the comic book cut.
The Whaler (Justice League of America #72, November 2002)
According to this web sheet, “A member of the Ancient League, the Whaler was a mysterious, pipe-smoking man with a bizarre verbal tick and who wielded a strange green energy, much like the Green Lantern energies.”
