Shutter Issue #2 is off to the printers and will be officially released at the Emerald City Comic Con on March 28. But in the meantime, I wanted to show a preview of some pages and the official cover to wet your whistle.
First off, here’s the cover reveal for Shutter Issue #2:
We had a lot of fun with this cover. The idea of a train being fueled by human bones. The title of this issue is the Hell-Bound Train and this cover fit perfectly with that idea.
Mike Hammons artwork is particularly stellar in this issue. My favorite page is actually one with no dialogue where Robert stares out the window as the late afternoon turns to night. I just love how the colors and tones evolve through the panels on this page.
One more. I love this creepy photographer that wants to take Robert’s picture. This is another favorite page from this issue:
This issue is a journey issue. He meets a lot of interesting characters and we get a sense that where he’s going is not going to be a pleasant place. I don’t want to give anything away because you’ll be able to read it before the end of this month.
If you don’t already have it, you can get Shutter Issue #1 here.
