Rafael Albuquerque on Book Of Shadows #3

 

Book Of Shadows #3 Cover A by Rafael Albuquerque

 

It's that time of the month again, Valiant dudes and dudettes. Or should that be Valiant dudes and dudesses? Anyway, if your local comic shop hands them out, it's time for you to look at your Previews Order Form. 

While flipping through my booklet, I noticed that Valiant Entertainment is resoliciting Book Of Shadows #3. This means that, even if your shop ordered it before, Diamond Distributing has decided it's been too long since the original solicitation, is canceling the original orders, and asking your shop to order the book again. So that means you need to remind your LCS again that you really want Book Of Shadows #3, and tell them your cover preference.

Yes, immediately.

At least, that's my understanding of how the whole shadowy world of Diamond  works.

Anyway. 

This cover is rather haunting, isn't it? It may just be a cover, but Cover A is often the most representative of what occurs in the issue. That's not a good sign of Things To Come for our netherworldly heroes, is it?

Oh, and if you want to see what Rafael's art looks like, unadorned by titles, names, numbers, and the Valiant Entertainment logo, I'll just open my copy of the Book Of Shadows, recite the appropriate spell, and conjure it up for you!

Voila!

So, like I said, let your LCS know you want this cover ASAP. And thanks, Rafael, for such a haunting image!

Oh, and Shadowman, Doctor Mirage, Punk Mambo, Eternal Warrior and Persephone: Wake up! Please, don't be dead!
