SPLATTERMAN SNEAK PEEK

Just a few more pages of Giancarlo Caracuzzo art before colorist Paul Mounts gets to it. We originally planned the SPLATTERMAN book to be three seperate issues , but then we were thinking about how we are buying comics of late and honestly, I have only been picking up trade books and original graphic novels and these items are usually in the stores year round. That and there is a fee involved with every single issue we put ut and it made sense to go with a one shot graphic novel. an item like this needs to be preordered because most comic shops willl only order one or two...so I do reccomend you order it in advance...and as far as advance goes, thanks to all of you that are going to give the book a try.









what we have here are three different points of the book and I think some really solid storytelling on Giancarlos part. If you really look at the second page, first panel, you can see that there is not a lazy bone in his body. the bar is fully worked out and a lot of thought to the surroundings are there in the frame. you can almost hear and smell the place . The bage right above has a "watchmen" panel grid because we wanted to convey the range of horror and emotion of what our main characters are seeing and push the story a bit quicker here. If this was a film, some of the horrific images would just be a flash...just long enough for the viewer to "grab" it and let it sink in. with a comic, you set your own reading pace...so smaller panels tell us to move quicker in a way. let me know what you think...

and yes, people can clip there and feature them on their sites and such. all good.
