Dynamite Entertainment has announced that it will pay tribute to the highly influential Todd McFarlane this April with a series of Homage Variant covers from artist Adam Gorham and colourist Michael Garland on Red Sonja #15, Vampirella #10, Dejah Thoris #5, Killing Red Sonja #2, Vampirella/Red Sonja #8, and Death to the Army of Darkness #3. Check them out here…
“Growing up in Canada in the ’90s, comics were huge and Todd McFarlane was a Canadian icon of the medium,” said Gorham. “His work was some of the first comic art I was exposed to. I’m thinking of his Amazing Spider-Man anti-drug special covers. They were practically government issued to Canadian children. [These] were a really fun series of covers to draw, and challenging! Todd’s style and compositions are so bold and energetic. His Spider-Man stuff has it’s own visual language. The poses and anatomy really only make sense for that character, so making different characters fit those cover compositions and giving them a new context on top of having some connect was no easy feat.”
Look for the Todd McFarlane Homage Variant covers this April.
