I know I am a lucky man cuz Frazer Irving makes covers like these for my loopy sci-fi sword fight comic.
This is the cover to Higher Earth issue 3, which was just unleashed for solicits today it appears. Sometimes the previews for my covers get chucked into the cyber-web without being colour corrected back from CYMK to RGB, and so they may look a little garish if one sees them on comics news sites. On tumblr however, I control the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal, as well as the colour profiles. One thing that ran thru my mind as I made this cover was how pretty much all the work I am doing now will be seen on those gorgeous GORGEOUS high definition tablet screens such as the new iPad, and how that affects what sort of detail I put into the art. This particular cover has some small figures, but it was important to ensure that when the digi-crowd zoom in on the art that there is something else waiting for them in the pixels, so I drew detail which wouldn’t normally show up in print with that in mind. And all for the same page rates! Us freelancers, we’re crazy.

‘Fanboys Vs. Zombies’ Brings the Undead to Comic-Con [Preview]
By Andy Khouri
On sale this week from BOOM! Studios is Fanboys Vs. Zombies #1, beginning a new ongoing comedy series that imagines our beloved Comic-Con International in San Diego as the site of a violent zombie outbreak. Written by Sam Humphries (Our Love Is Real, Ultimate Comics Ultimates) and drawn by Jerry Gaylord, the book is something of a love letter to Comic-Con culture, if love can be expressed in the form of depicting everyone in Hall H dying very, very horribly.
