What's it like doing the cover for a book that celebrates the greatness of your own work? And I ask that with the utmost respect. It just seems so surreal.

Fantastic job at Heroes Con this weekend. I snuck a peak at a couple sketches you were working on- crazy good stuff. Also, Allison, Scott and yourself made the art auction a real pleasure to attend. Allison has the patience of a saint! ( I left a bit early, so if she eventually lost her shit, I didn't see, but I wouldn't blame her. It got pretty loud and hot in there, which is the recipe for me to have a meltdown...)

Great cover! Thanks for the before and after too.

I requested as a print by accident, so ignore that.

No, sorry for the misunderstanding In Romania there've been incidents with Amazon orders getting lost, and I don't have a paypal account either.

But, when there's a will there's a way

AdamHughes In reply to baquitania [2010-06-01 15:26:44 +0000 UTC]

Yes, you can. On Amazon.com, they are having their usual pre-prder sale: you can order the book for $28, I think (it retails for $40).

Amazing, Adam.
I specially love the quotes in the back, and the artist's portrait.

Is this the dust jacket? Or is it the 'real' book cover?

Whoops! It really pays to read the description! Sorry 'bout that!

So if this is the jacket, how will the cover look like? Will it have an illustration too?

FINALLY!!! I never thought someone over there had brains enough to make it happen! Not that Chiarello (or other intelligent people) stood by with their hands in their pockets!

Guess the powers that be weren't in a rush to make some extra cash. And they wonder why business people laugh when they hear the term Comic Book "Industry".

AH, end of rant. Can't wait to see THE new book that will adorn my specially prepared book case!

Congrats! It's about freaking time--not that I'm angry at you, I'm angry DC or any other publisher has been so slow about putting something like this together. Great cover, I'll have to pick up a copy either at or before San Diego.
