Description
Here's the digitally painted alternate cover for Skullkickers #1. The distressing, old school comic logo and pricing were done by Steven Finch at Image.It's a direct homage to Jack Kirby's Incredible Hulk #1 cover illo, playing off of the 'Fantasy As You Like It' line from the original for this new sword & sorcery comedy series.

I'm stopping by the comic shop tomorrow, so I'll be sure to check it out. I used to love that old hyperbole, "As you like it!" "Because you demanded it!" etc. As a kid, I was like"I-I did? Hmmm. Okay, I guess I'll pick it up then..."
...and I'm still waiting for my black and white (greyscale markers) one shot-- ALL CHRIS STEVENS.

Haha! Awesome! I was actually kinda of sick of this homage for a while since Marvel used it for dozens of Hulk books, but I think this one is pretty original.

I'm amused that you would even entertain such skullduggery.
Oh, and sweet picture.

I need to talk to Steven Finch about how the hell he does that. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I love that nostalgic look. I used to think it was dumb to do that, but now... I can see why one does that, and it grew on me, somewhat rapidly.

Yeah, I've always dug it, but then I always liked old beat up comics. It's a cool look.

Beats me. I had nothing to do with it. Good question though.
