John Law meets Femme Noir
Here’s a pin-up recently finished for my good mate Chris Mills‘ new series coming out from Ape Entertainment: Femme Noir: The Dark City Diaries. Based on a webcomic that first hit the ‘net in 2001, this four-issue, full-color miniseries is pencilled by the legendary Joe Staton, inked by Horacio Ottolini and Mark Stegbauer, and colored by Melissa Kaercher and Matt Webb. The covers have been digitally painted by Alfredo Lopez over Joe’s pencils, and we have variant covers by Brian Bolland, Phil Hester and the late Mike Wieringo. This looks like it’ll be hitting shelves around May or so. Hit Chris’ blog here for all the gossip on this project and others like his Kolchak mini series Night Stalker of the Living Dead, Perils from Planet X, Captain Midnight and lots more in 2008!
