I have a number of Bruce Timm's drawings that fans have collected throughout the years. This man can take almost any character that I love and render them beautifully. While we've come to associate the Timm style as being cartoon-like, his women are undeniably sexy. This is Timm's rendition of Satana--I love this seductive pose--it could make any man lose his soul. Timm used Romita's original costume design, too, gotta give him bonus points for that! Nuff said.
Marvel's Haunt of Horror: November 2006 Archives
This is exciting news. At the end of Friday's Cup of Joe in Newsarama, there's a sneaky solicitation for a one-shot special called Legion of Monsters #1: Werewolf By Night. Written by Mike Carey and drawn by Greg Land! This looks like the classic Jack Russell--Land doesn't try to redesign the Ploog model, doesn't try to make him dog-like or anything. (Dog-like Werewolves are my pet peeves, no pun intended.) Here's the blurb:
In the first of three high-octane horror comic one-shots, Werewolf by Night returns to the Marvel Universe! This shocking story by X-Men's Mike Carey and Ultimate Power's Greg Land (in the comic he's waited his whole life to draw!) is a powerful, brutally terrifying tale that will redefine Jacob Russel forever! And as if that wasn't enough - join writer/artist Skottie Young in a no-holds-barred look at the afterlife of the Monster of Frankenstein! It's an extra-length comic at no extra price, and it's destined to keep you sleeping with your lights on…till the upcoming Legion of Monsters: Morbius and Legion of Monsters: Man-Thing!
Greg Land has waited his whole life to draw Jack Russell? Yes, he's a real true believer, and that cover looks fantastic! I can't wait to read this. Nuff said.
