Last week I got the
final cover art for Isis: All That Glitters And E’steem Goddess of? from Bill Walko and they look AWESOME!
Bill did an AMAZING
job on both these covers. The action on the Isis: All That Glitters cover is
just like I imagined it in my head when I wrote the confrontation between Isis
and Golden Shine in the first chapter. The evil grin on Golden Shine’s face has
me worried for the goddess next door! How’s she gonna get out of this one?
I love all the
little details in this picture that tell the story, from the broken silver safe
to the contrasting gold walls and the sparkling floor to the worried people
looking out the window. The scared little girl and her mom and the people
recording the upcoming carnage tell a compelling story in a single image that
screams BUY ME to the customer. And you definitely want to buy this one because
it’s an updated take on the old superhero vs. bank robbers story!
All I can say about
the E’steem Goddess Of? cover is that it’s a MASTERPIECE. This one reminds me
of the old 1970s Marvel Comics I used to read in my brother’s comic collection.
There’s a great
story in this picture. The Island of Solitude looks serene, but the action between
E’steem and Avarisk The Tormentor is intense! With this cover Bill took an idea
I imagined and took it to another level!
You literally feel like you’re on
vacation in the South Pacific looking at this cover. The bikini clad E’steem
looks like an animated version of Salli Richardson Whitfield (the actress who
inspired E’steem) and Avarisk, The Tormentor’s costume POPS off the page like
an oldschool Marvel super-villian. This cover screams BUY ME to the reader and tells
them come back for the next book and the back issues too!
Looking at Bill’s
work on both these covers has me anticipating what his work would look like in
the pages of an Isis Graphic novel. Bill tells a great story with pictures and
his images are so dynamic it’s like they’re animated! I would love to see what
he does with 62 pages of a comic book! I’m hoping everyone donates to the
upcoming indiegogo for the Isis graphic novel next year, because the comic I want
to share with you is going to be a CLASSIC!
