Description

Ever since I saw this issue on the comic store racks, I loved the cover. Everything about the drawing is just remarkable to me -- the layout and ink-black background, use of negative/positive space, the old-west motif, Edward Grey with his sidearm, the crucifix, mystical symbols, and even (especially) the 3 guys standing in the corner. Told myself if I ever had the chance to purchase, I would have to go for it.

I didn't get Comic Con tickets this year and had resigned myself to sitting on the sidelines. Then Wednesday late afternoon, I get a call from a friend saying she had an extra ticket to Preview Night. We arrived and made a beeline for Mike's table. And what should be on offer, but this very piece. Of course, in my lack of preparation, I didn't have nearly enough cash on hand to purchase the art. But then I see Christine scanning a credit card on her iPhone. Very, very happy...!

I was considering buying this when you swooped in and grabbed it-- I almost pulled rank on you, but you seemed so happy I couldn't do it.

Wow, that was you?? Very nice of you to allow me to make the grab -- you did mention that you'd been looking at this one. Should have introduced yourself! I'm a fan of your work and might have deferred... er, well... maybe we could have flipped a coin or something? Thanks again

These Witchfinder covers are nice. I've said it too many times to count, but I'll say it again... it's the non-HB stuff from the HB-era that shows Mike's true genius
