Even though it had a busy weekend at the New York Comic Con, Top Cow dropped off a couple Sneak Peeks of upcoming titles including Witchblade #104, the Unusual Suspects graphic novel, and a look at the cover for The Art of The Darkness.
The Art of The Darkness
The final cover features the Marc Silvestri Wizard magazine cover with new digital paints by Croatian painting sensation Stjepan Sejic. The cover also features a striking design which will be accented by an embossed logo. Additionally, fans will receive an added value with a hefty 100 pound paper stock to ensure the highest quality presentation for each art piece featured within. Featuring selected published and unpublished works by such artistic luminaries as Silvestri, Dale Keown, Michael Turner, Whilce Portacio, Joe Benetiz, Keu Cha, Eric “Ebas” Basaldua, and Sejic, along with interviews and commentaries by Darkness creators, this prestige art book is sure to be a prized item for years to come.
