Greetings Loyal Airmen, seems like the older we get, the fast time speeds by. Here we are sliding into August and scratching our heads wondering what happened to July? Ha. Still, lots and lots of comic projects are gradually coming to fruition in the next few weeks, so hang. It’s gonna get wild.
JIN & TONIK # 2
Our artist pal, Cesar Feliciano has been knocking our sockes off with his amazing new pages for our JIN & TONIK Issue # 2. Above are his latest pages showing martial artist Sammy Jin in action. Beautiful stuff, every single panel. And wait until colorist Matt Webbe gets a hold of these pages. Oh, yeah.
THE CRIMSON NUN # 2
Last week, artist Jesse Thomas surprised me with having completed nearly all of issue # 2 of our mini-series, “The Crimson Nun.” He turned in four fully colored pages, to include the gorgeous one above. This leaves only four left to color and then the pages go to our amazing letterer, artist Mike Belcher. In staring at these new pages, we couldn’t help but marvel at how Jesse even got the message left in the lower left panel is actually written in French. Now that’s attention to detail and getting the story right. We can’t wait to have this one wrapped up and off to you Loyal Airmen. Stay tuned.
COMING NEXT WEEK !!
Last week, we happily announced the fact that we were in the final stages of production for our new edition of an Edgar Rice Burroughs classic pulp adventure, “Beyond 30.” Well, all that hard work is completed and Art Director Rob Davis is currently working on the final cover that will grace this new book. Here’s a peek at the back cover and one of his six black and white illustrations that will grace this truly beautiful edition. Also happening now, associate editor Gordon Dymowski is giving the book a final proof reading. Once done, and the cover gets wrapped, it’s off to Amazon and…again, if all goes according to plan, the Air Chief will be announce the book’s publication on this very Flight Log next Friday, so don’t miss it!
BEYOND THE STARS # 5 FINISHED!
Finally, we end this week’s entry with announcing “BEYOND THE STARS #5” is finished. It is currently being lettered and the crowdfunding campaign should start within the next week or two. Above his Andrea Bormida’s dynamic cover without colors and logo etc. Hey, we don’t want to give everything away. With this issue wrapped up, that leaves us the sixth and final chapter of this sci-fi sage we’ve spinning for the past two years. As ever, thanks for your continued support, Loyal Airmen.
And that’s it for this week. Hope to see you all back here next Friday. Ron – Over & Out!
