Welcome to day 2 of The 13 Days of Pan-demonium, in which we’re celebrating the publication of BLOOD FEUD: THE SAGA OF PANDORA ZWIEBACK, Book 1, on sale right now from StarWarp Concepts and all fine online bookstores.
Today’s artist is: JIM COON!
I first saw Jim’s work in his self-published comic 8-Ball—and as so often with any artist, he doesn’t like to be reminded of his early efforts. So just walk off the pain, son! 😉
Years later, I had the pleasure of sitting next to Jim at one of the Small Press Expos that are held every year in Maryland. He didn’t do much business at the show (neither did I), but we and my friend Richard C. White (writer of the comic Troubleshooters, Inc., and the Star Trek e-book Echoes of Coventry) had a fairly good time in the depths of misery. 😀
I hadn’t been in much contact with Jim since those SPX days, but when I started formulating plans for the 13 Days promotion, I knew he was one of then artists I had to approach. And I was right! The Gahan Wilson approach he used for this illo is just great.
Who’s next on our list of amazing artists? Find out tomorrow!
