We die together on a cold stone floor, bound by a curse. A shimmering pool of bubbling liquid allows us to cheat death. One of us reborn, the other... a monster. Not dead. I know that I have to destroy him. But I'm afraid. I fear that his voice -- his words -- have sealed my fate.

It took a while, but I realized I was pretty taken with the idea of being dead.

My character designs for Dynamite’s upcoming WILL EISNER’S THE SPIRIT. Colors provided by series colorist Brennan Wagner. I really think he picked the perfect hue for the Spirit’s suit; it’s got the substance of the Darwyn Cooke/Dave Stewart navy suit, but retains the vibrancy of the original. And the red of the tie... throughout the whole of our series, that red slices through every other color. Spirit’s the closest thing Central City has to a superhero, and that tie is his Superman cape. 

Matt Wagner, who art directs the series as well as writes it, had a huge hand in these -- especially Ellen, Ebony, and Sammy. Boy, Sammy. Who’d have thought he’d be the toughest nut to crack?

(The only one who was relatively easy was Commissioner Dolan, who, as a suited, hawk-nosed white man with a prominent chin, was pretty squarely in my wheelhouse.)

I threw a little extra commentary on the images themselves. Enjoy!
