Northlanders for February 2010

The Vertigo Comics: Graphic Content blog has a post up now about something they are calling “Brian Wood Month”, where I’ll have four books released in February 2010.  Up there is the cover to Northlanders #25, but click through to see the art for NORTHLANDERS BOOK THREE, which will be called “Blood In The Snow”, collection all the short stories to date:

“Lindisfarne”, art by Dean Ormston (#9, #10)

“The Viking Art Of Single Combat”, art by Vasilis Lolos (#17)

“The Shield Maidens”, art by Danijel Zezelj (#18, #19)

“Sven The Immortal”, art by Davide Gianfelice (#20)

It’s a wonderfully understated cover, but, to me, is a perfect representation of the series.  I’ll post the final cover once its designed.  It is, as always, painted by Massimo Carnevale.

Unused cover design for Northlanders “The Plague Widow”.  This actually prompted an entire re-design of the book.
