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 3 PREVIEW ART

Well work continues on the stories that will be in the special. I previously posted the cover choices for the issue. Now I'll start posting some preview art. One of the stories will be 'Crossfire' with pencil art by Matt Zolman. I had posted some of Matt's pencils for story a while back. Well the very talented Scott Shriver has come onboard as inker and grayscaler and finished the pages. He'll also be taking those positions on two other stories in the special- 'Venger: Deadly Beginnings' and 'Black Mercy: No Mercy'. Check out some of the 'Crossfire' pages...

The Venger: Crossfire by Matt Zolman

As if I'm not busy enough trying to put together both Venger books- The Venger: Dead Man Rising and The Venger: Sins and Secrets- I've also been working on an over-sized Venger special. There will be several different stories in here by some different creative teams. I won't be writing all of them. One that I am writing is called 'Crossfire' and features the artwork of Matt Zolman.

This is a 10 page story featuring the new Venger. I don't want to give away too much yet because we are a ways away from publication but thought I would share a glimpse into it. So check it out...



Matt has a blog where he updates his progress on this and other projects he is working on. Please check it out to see a few other Venger images. Matt's doing a great job and I am so pleased to be working with him. So again click the link...
