Description

Two of my favorite current series collide in this epic cover by Artist Martin Simmonds (Department of Truth) and Writer Ram V (Laila Starr). Issue 5 is still way too far away but you know it's going to be great. And I was really taken with this image when I first saw it, and immediately had a vision for it. I was lucky enough to acquire it (thanks Cadence!) and it's at the framer already. If you're not reading this series I can highly recommend it, and credit must also be give to Filipe Andrade as a co-creator and for creating interior artwork that works so harmoniously with the script.

The scan does not do the image justice unfortunately - Martin has used his traditional mixed media to give the figure a lot of weight, and he's heightened the tension with that weight by using gold paint under the flowers. Really beautiful in person.

Laila Starr is a spectacular book. When I saw this sold so fast I thought 'I bet that was Mikail' - ha! Hope you post it when framed, I'd love to see it.

It looks incredible. Perfect choice of frame and colours and scale. That is ART on the wall and just what such a beautiful book deserves.
