At long last, I am pleased to share the not-quite-final design for the cover of The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein). This amazing work of art is by the one and only Joe Jusko, and I am honored to have him be a part of this creative journey. I knew that this comic needed an incredibly iconic image for the cover, but I never really thought that it would have something this monumentally badass.
The Monster of Blackenstyne (not to be confused with Blackenstein) is a one-shot comic that will serve as an introduction to your new favorite monster. The comic includes a full-color, 24-page story drawn by Marcelo Di Chiara and colored by Pedro Estouco (see sample page above), as well as a bonus pin-up gallery. There will be a crowdfunding campaign starting next month, as well as an art contest to find artists to include in the pin-up gallery (details on the Kickstarter campaign and the art contest coming soon).
