Indeed, those images gave me the chills
Derington
must do more Phantom work!!
What I love most about those images is the Phantom's physique. I can't stand the way most heroes are drawn in comics, as though they are all jones'n on the roids. Notice how that body type is rarely ever cast in superhero films? This hero looks real and that adds to the appeal.
Just effing gourgeous. wow. Moonstone ,please at least get Nick to do a short story when you do the next holiday anthology! Beautful.
Quoted from a
recent news article
Now, besides that, we have a couple of other special Phantom projects. We have the upcoming Phantom Annual (Nov ’08), which will be the first Moonstone Phantom/Mandrake team-up! Written by Mike Bullock and Kevin Grevioux, with covers by Pat Quinn, Leonardo Manco, and Nick Derington
I predict it will be difficult to choose between what cover I will buy, with both Quinn and Derington back.
Get all of them. I plan to.
In the past there's been talk about setting a Moonstone book in the "split" format of having two stars to one title. I'd love to see this come to pass and have Derington handle the art for a good stretch. I don't even care which character he'd handle: his style just looks so awesome on these pulpy, classic characters.
