International Girl of Mystery

Yuki7 is Kevin Dart's super cool 60's Japanese spy girl. Needless to say I flipped out when he asked me to do my version of her for his up coming book. Kevin is very influenced by 60's spy movie posters so I tried to think of something from the same genre and era but from a totally different direction. I also thought Yuki would make a great comic the first time I even saw her. So it seemed immediately natural to do a Jim Steranko take on the character. It was a blast, I'd have a lot of fun if I got to do a whole comic like this.

Boy, It felt really good to ink a page again. It's been awhile.

Bill,
This is fantastic. I love the whole vibe of it; who doesn't love Steranko. It'd make a great wallpaper....

I love it! It reminds me of the work of Yves Chaland. Did you ink it using a brush?

Chris Battle said...

Great job Bill. Don't you agree that it's an outright crime that there's no collection of Steranko's work available like there are for Eisner, Kirby, and Ditko?

Whoa! For a second I thought this was Luca Tieri's stuff being graphic and abstracted. Kudos and pardon my double take! It's great, Mr. Presing!
