New Title: The Listener with a Frank Miller Wolverine Homage13278

First look at my cover for Dustin Brunell's book, The Listener issue #1.

I sourced a copy of the Syracuse Herald-Journal from Dec 8, 1941 to paint this on. The aged paper took to the paint like a dream. There's just something about the fact that the book starts off in 1941 and that I was able to include a relic from that exact year into my work that just feels dead on for this project.

It has been an honor to see this book coming to life from the moment Dustin called me the morning after he had the idea all the way through the creative process to now. I am actually lettering this book also and will start that process this week.

I hope you cats dig it.

It's like the Roach Motel for comic collectors. chester15 private msg quote post Address this user
The face on the cover looks almost exactly like Robert Crane, Colonel Hogan of Hogan's Heroes.

@chester15 Really? I'll have to check him out.

When Dustin told me who he envisioned the main character looking like he said the Indian from "The Indian in the Cupboard" but I had never seen that film. This was based off of that man's likeness. His name is Litefoot.

It was hard to find a photo of him with his mouth closed. I dunno if I can see it.

@Masochism - Great work!

@chester15 - I don't see Robert Crane, maybe a little like a younger Steven Seagal before he got fat?

I probably shouldn't have suggested the likeness. My wife shoots me down every time I point out some resemblance, to anyone. You'd think I'd learn.

Beautiful artwork. So much detail in the headdress alone. Jealous of your talent, skill, both.

I can see both. They all have something similar in the eyes.

You do know that the new guy brings the donuts, right? DWeeB1967 private msg quote post Address this user
Unlike @chester15, I don't see the Bob Crane resemblance.

With that said, really nice job, @Masochism. I graduated from architecture school (although I'm not an architect) and, during my time in college, I developed an appreciation for authenticity (wood looking like wood, metal looking like metal, etc.). So, I'm with you... I think it's very cool that you were able to source a newspaper from 1941 for a story that starts in 1941.

So, again... nice job. 👍
