The Venger vs the Wolfman

I'm continuing my look at the stories I'll be including in next year's The Venger Special. So far we've seen the cover choices by Marco Rudy and a couple of the finished art pages from Matt Zolman's "Crossfire" story. Also included in the book will be a prose short story of the original Venger. Written by Barri Lang, "Venger vs the Wolfman" is a great period piece and really invokes the old pulp novel feel. Artist Sam Crouch will be contributing several spot illustrations to go with the Barri's story as well. Here is the title piece, built around the style of an old time circus poster. I'll post a couple more later down the line.

The Venger Special- update 2

Last time I posted a cover image done by Marco Rudy for the Venger Special. Here is another version of that cover image. On this one Marco threw some red color to the blank background. The final decision hasn't been made yet on which one that will be used. I'll wait until we are almost done with production to finally decide. There are some more tweaks to it and photoshopping that will need to be done. I have a certain look I'll be going for, something  that will remind the reader of the old pulp novels.

The Venger Special- update 1

Well I have been  busy recently working not just on reviews for Comics Bulletin but also on writing and production of the Venger Special. Tim is plugging away on The Venger: Dead Man Rising #3 so my hope is to have the Venger Special out sometime soon to give you readers some Venger material between issues. So moving forward I'm going to posts some updates on what to expect. First up is the cover, done by Marco Rudy, the regular artist of DC's The Shield. He has also done an issue of Justice League, worked on an issue of Final Crisis as well as Image's After The Cape.
