Ninjak (Colin King) — Unpublished Illustration / Pinup by Bernard Chang (c. 1995)

Unpublished original ink illustration of Ninjak (Colin King) by Bernard Chang, created during his early Valiant Comics period circa 1995.

This striking composition emphasizes symmetry and restraint, presenting Ninjak in a controlled, ritual-like pose with mirrored katana framing the figure. Rather than depicting motion or combat, Chang focuses on balance, negative space, and graphic clarity—hallmarks of his design-forward approach to character illustration.

The piece exemplifies Chang’s clean linework and disciplined composition from his formative years, capturing the stoic, methodical nature of Ninjak through posture and structure rather than action. Signed by the artist. Unpublished and created as a standalone illustration, not tied to a specific interior or cover assignment. Won at auction on Heritage Auctions.
