  • WALK-IN 6

    walkin6cover.jpg

    I’m pretty sure Walk-In #6 from Virgin Comics is orderable now, but there are few things harder to find on the internet than Virgin’s solicitation information. You might think Virgin would offer such things on their website, but no. The truth is they still have a relatively small staff who are mostly concerned with making good books on time, but it sure would help if someone shared the info with the comics news sites. I could pick up the red phone to Randy Lander and ask him to check the Previews guide clipped to his belt, but that’s like calling the police on noisy neighbors all the time when there’s crime to be fought.

    I haven’t been mentioning much of my work on Walk-In which is a shame, because I’m very proud of it. But the only reason I can squawk so much about what I have coming out from Marvel is that they make it very easy for me. Even while racing to meet different deadlines, all I have to do is go to the Jeff Parker page at Marvel.com and see when my books are shippping, and I can grab the cover images- hence the nifty cover sidebar at left (which we’ll probably make clickable to the solicit pages soon). Anyway, number 6 is the final issue, and I’m drawing it as well, which makes it as rare an occurrence as a Bigfoot sighting, so I hope you’ll order it. This cover isn’t quite finished. I still have some tinkering to do, and I’ll probably put some mountains or trees in the background. But it’s got a bear with a rifle, and really, do you need more information than that?

    Dude, it’s gorillas, not bears.

    It is also bears.

    When I first saw the cover art (just for a second, mind you) today, it had this Monkees (1960s TV show/band) vibe to it. I don’t know why. Fun cover.

    I’ll take that! I liked The Monkees. Thanks for explaining who they are for the younger readers, Tim!

    Some of us younger readers don’t need those parenthetical explanations — Nick at Nite taught me the value of Michael Nesmith and Peter Torque.
